Understanding Tyre Rotation Terms

Important terms to know when managing your tyre rotation schedule:

Tyre Rotation

Process of moving tyres to different positions on a vehicle to ensure even wear and extend tyre life.

Rotation Interval

Manufacturer-recommended frequency (by mileage) at which tyres should be rotated, typically 5,000 to 7,000 kilometres.

Tyre Wear Pattern

The way tyres wear based on their position on the vehicle, driving habits, and alignment.

Directional Rotation

Rotation pattern for directional tyres where tyres only move from front to back but stay on the same side.

Cross Rotation

Pattern where tyres move diagonally from front to rear positions, common for non-directional tyres.

Why Regular Tyre Rotation Matters

Regular tyre rotation is one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of vehicle maintenance. Here's why it should be part of your routine care:

1.Extended Tyre Life

Regular rotation helps distribute wear evenly across all four tyres, potentially extending tyre life by up to 20%.

2.Improved Performance

Evenly worn tyres provide better handling, traction, and braking capability, especially in adverse weather conditions.

3.Better Fuel Economy

Properly maintained tyres with even tread wear can improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.

4.Enhanced Safety

Balanced tyre wear reduces the risk of blowouts and improves overall vehicle handling and stability.

5.Warranty Compliance

Many tyre warranties require regular rotation as a condition for coverage, with documentation of maintenance.
