Tyre Rotations

Rotating your tyres regularly will make them last longer and prevent uneven wear.

A tyre rotation is a vital aspect of tyre maintenance. A regular rotation can boost tyre performance, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance the overall road safety of your vehicle.

Tyres wear differently over time depending on their position on your vehicle. Front tyres often wear more on the edges, while rear tyres wear more evenly. Rotating your tyres can assist to distribute the wear more evenly, preventing premature wear and tear and maintaining proper traction, handling, and braking performance. As a guide, tyres should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 km even if there is no sign of uneven wear.
