What is the importance of rotation?
Regular and proper tyre rotation ensures uniform wear to all the tyres on a vehicle. It is recommended that tyres should be rotated in a “modified X” pattern. In this pattern, only those tyres are crossed to the opposite side of the vehicle, which are being moved to the drive axle. Rest of the tyres are moved from the drive axle to the free rolling axle. This method provides even and uniform tread wear pattern to all the four tyres. Owner’s manual describes rotation recommendations for a vehicles. In case of no intimation of rotation period, tyres should be rotated every after 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
