How and Why Tyres Rotation

Rotation is necessary because of front tyres wear faster than the rear and the uneven wear characteristics of each wheel position on the vehicle.
Rotating your tires is not an intensive maintenance procedure, but the fact that it can affect fuel efficiency, safety, and increase the life of your tires makes it an important one.
Regular tyre rotation is important to achieving even tread wear and help to lengthen tread life.
Tires should be rotated at regular intervals.

Uneven tire tread thickness, front to rear, will give you uneven braking and poor handling, especially in the rain.
If you don't rotate the tyres, you'll wind up replacing them two at the time, which means you'll always have uneven tread thickness.
On certain cars, you may experience an additional problem when you do not rotate the tyres: tyres noise or humming on smooth roads.

Replacing tyres in a matched set of four will keep the handling and braking traction of the car balanced.

N.B Does not apply to rides using staggered setups!!! :rolf:

Cannot lah...it's asymmetric & unidirectional. Most performance tyres are asymmetric.

What if you remove the tyres from the rims...should be ok right? :1huh: :shead:

Got good also lah!
Front tyre wear out faster than rear.
So change only 2 tyres at 1 time - staggered changes too save money :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:

Rear tyre wear out faster - drift + burnout! :texan:
