The object of tyre rotation is to achieve a uniform amount of wear on each tyre. That guarantees you a smoother ride, and money saved from making your tyres last longer.
THE DISCOUNT TYRE TEAM RECOMMEND HAVING YOUR VEHICLES TYRES ROTATED EVERY 6-MONTHS OR 10 000KMS
Front wheel drive
In front wheel drive vehicles, the front tyres take most of the strain of breaking and steering. Most front wheel drive vehicles have most of the weight on the front tyres rather than the back too. Added to that the tyres on most cars are likely to wear out more on the left front tyre vs the right, this is because we take right-hand turns harder than the easier left swing turn when driving.
You can help eliminate excessive wear on the front and rear tyres with a tyre rotation every 10,000 kilometres or 6 months and are offered by Discount Tyres’ Auckland branches as a free service when you had new tyres fitted with us.
Tip: There are other contributing factors when it comes to tyre wear other than rotation such as wheels alignment and in some cases wheel balancing. The Discount Tyre team can help you with wheel alignment and wheel balancing services too – just mention it when you’re making your appointment.
