What happens during a tire rotation?
The concept of tire rotation is pretty simple. The tires are moved to different locations to ensure they wear evenly. This is done using one of a few different tire rotation patterns, depending on the type of vehicle you drive. The service technicians will also inspect the tire tread and air pressure.
What are the different tire rotation patterns?
There are three main rotation patterns used for most cars.
- Forward cross: This is the rotation pattern used the most with front-wheel-drive vehicles. The service technicians will relocate the two front tires to the rear. The rear tires are then moved to the front and are moved to the opposite sides of the car.
- X-pattern: This is another pattern for front-wheel-drive vehicles. The front tires are moved to the rear, and they switch sides. Then the rear tires move to the front and switch sides.
- Rearward cross: This pattern can be used with rear- or four-wheel drive vehicles. The front tires move to the rear and switch sides, and the rear tires are shifted to the front.
Directional tires and high-performance tires that are of different sizes use the following patterns.
- Front-to-back: Directional tires must be rotated in the same direction as their tread pattern. The front tires move to the back, the rear tires move to the front, and both sets of tires remain on the same side of the vehicle.
- Side-to-side: If your car has non-directional tires of two different sizes, they'll use the side-to-side rotation pattern. The tires move to opposite sides, but the front tires remain in the front, and the rear tires stay in the rear.
What happens if I don't rotate the tires?
Tire rotation prevents uneven wear on your car's tires. They'll wear out faster, so you'll spend more money on tires. Driving on worn tires can be dangerous.
