We have talked about why your car tyres are important<\/a>, how to change a flat<\/a>, and how to take care of tyres during MCO<\/a>. What we haven’t talked about caring for tyres in general beyond those simple steps, which is vital now that full reopening is coming soon.<\/p>\n

Rotate<\/h2>\n

Basically, tyre rotation repositions your tyres either from the front to the back of the car or from one side to the other. As tyres experience differing levels of load, they wear out at different rates. Tyre rotation distributes tread wear evenly across all four tyres; consistent handling across all sides can be achieved.<\/p>\n

Which rotation patterns to adopt largely depends on the type of tyres you are using. If you have the same-sized, non-directional tyres, they can be repositioned at either axle and opposite sides of each axle; drivetrain types (FWD, RWD, and 4WD) may influence which sides to move the tyres. Same-sized, directional tyres cannot be shifted to the opposite side as the tread will face the wrong way, preventing proper water dispersion; directional tyres will have the \u2018rotation\u2019 indication marked on the sidewall.<\/p>\n

Different-sized (staggered), non-directional tyres front and back will need to be switched between their same-sized partner and remain on the same axle; directional tyres in this case remain on the same axle but may require dismounting, mounting, and rebalancing. Tyres typically need to be rotated every 10,000km; consult the owner\u2019s manual for your specific make and model and rotation patterns.<\/p>\n
