Tyre Rotations
Rotating your tyres regularly will make them last longer and prevent uneven wear.
We don’t mean making them go around and around; a tyre rotation is changing the position of the tyre on the vehicle. It’s simple but effective.
Tyres can wear differently depending on their position on the vehicle. Regularly changing each tyre’s position on your vehicle ensures that each of your tyres wears evenly. As a guide, tyres should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 km even if there is no sign of uneven wear.

Importance of tyre rotation
Tyre rotations are a vital aspect of tyre maintenance that every car owner should be familiar with. It involves periodically changing the position of your vehicle's tyres to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan. Regularly rotating your tyres can boost their performance, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance overall road safety.
The process typically involves swapping the front and rear tyres, as well as the left and right tyres. Various tyre rotation patterns are commonly used, including Forward Cross, Rearward Cross, X-Pattern, and Side-to-Side.
Unevenly worn tyres can cause handling issues, such as poor traction, decreased stability, and increased braking distances. Regular rotation ensures even tyre wear, enhancing your vehicle's handling capabilities and providing a safer driving experience.
