For vehicles without a full-size spare tire, front-to-back rotation is recommended; vehicles with a full-size spare can utilize 4-tire rotation patterns.
Here are some reasons why tire rotation is important:
- It can extend the life of your tires. By rotating your tires regularly, you can ensure that they wear evenly, which will help them to last longer.
- It can improve your vehicle's handling. When your tires are properly inflated and rotated, they can help your vehicle to handle better, especially in wet or icy conditions.
- It can save you money. By extending the life of your tires, you can avoid having to buy new tires as often, which can save you money in the long run.
If you are unsure whether or not your vehicle can have its tires rotated, it is always best to consult with your vehicle’s owner’s manual or with a qualified mechanic.
