Did you know that you should be rotating your tyres throughout the year? That’s right, and it will help to increase their lifespan too. Because the front tyres tend to wear out faster than the back ones, you’ll get the most out of their tread life by doing a tyre rotation every 6,000 miles. Let’s take a closer look at what you’ll need to do and the benefits you can enjoy.
Why Rotate Your Tyres?
We know that front tyres wear faster than back ones. Therefore, to get maximum wear out of all of your tyres, it makes sense to switch the front and back ones periodically. Of course, this only applies to vehicles where the front and back tyres are all the same size. If you have different sized tyres, tyre rotation won’t be suitable for you. You also need to ensure you tyres are well-maintained by being correctly inflated and aligned. If you’ve got issues with either of these things, rotating them will do little to improve the wear of your tyres.
How Often Should You Do A Tyre Rotation?
We would recommend tyre rotation at every 6,000 miles for most drivers. However, if you drive a lot more than standard drivers or carry heavy loads, you may want to do it more regularly. If you notice that your tyres aren’t wearing very evenly, this might also be a good time to rotate.
Can You Rotate Your Tyres Yourself?
Yes, if you know what you’re doing. Tyre rotation is a relatively simple task, but you need to ensure you’re doing it properly. Unless you’re confident doing this task, we would recommend going to an expert. It’s important to ensure that the tyres are rotated correctly, the tread patterns are facing the right way and the wheels are properly balanced. Calling out a professional to do this won’t set you back a huge amount of money and means you’ll get the most out of your tyres.
