​Tire Rotation Near Medford
​Because there are specific rotation patterns for different types of cars, it's important to rotate the tires properly. This will prolong the tires' life and help prevent sudden tire failure, which can result in a flat tire or a blowout.
The front and rear tires perform different jobs, and the tires on a front-wheel-drive vehicle perform different tasks than those on a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. If you don't rotate the tires regularly on a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the front tires will wear out faster than the rear tires. This can cause a loss of control when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces. When you bring your car to the Burns Hyundai Service Center for regular tire rotation, it will prevent the tires from cupping, a condition that causes cabin noise and vibration.
There are three rotation patterns used by most vehicles: forward cross, x-pattern and rearward cross.
Forward Cross
This pattern is great for vehicles with front-wheel drive. The front tires move to the rear. The rear tires are relocated to the front and switch sides.
X-pattern
This is another pattern that can be used for front-wheel drive vehicles. The front tires move to the rear, and the rear tires move to the front. Both sets of tires switch sides.
Rearward Cross
This pattern is best for vehicles with rear- or all-wheel drive. The rear tires are moved to the front. The front tires are transferred to the rear and switch sides.
There are two distinct patterns used for high-performance tires: front-to-back and side-to-side.
Front-to-back
Directional tires should be rotated with the front tires moved to the rear and vice versa. The tires stay on the same side of the vehicle.
Side-to-side
If your car has non-directional tires that are different sizes, they should be rotated using the side-to-side pattern. The tires switch sides.
