What Is the Correct Way to Rotate Radial Tires?

The correct way to rotate radial tires is to move the front tires to the back and the back tires to the front on the same side of the car. For example, the front left tire would move to the back left and the back left tire would move to the front left. The spare tire, if available, should also be added into the rotation pattern.

* Front-wheel drive: Move the front tires to the back and the back tires to the front, keeping them on the same side of the car.

* Rear-wheel drive: Move the front tires to the back and the back tires to the front, crossing them over from one side of the car to the other.

* All-wheel drive: Follow the same rotation pattern as for front-wheel drive vehicles.

It is important to rotate your tires regularly to ensure even wear and extend the life of your tires. The recommended rotation interval is usually every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, but you may need to rotate them more frequently if you drive in harsh conditions or if your tires show uneven wear.
