Front and rear tyres do different jobs and wear at different rates. Swapping them around at regular intervals evens out the wear and gets more kilometres from the set.
Why tyres wear unevenly
- Weight distribution — some corners carry more load than others.
- Front tyres on front-drive cars handle steering, acceleration and most of the braking.
- Misaligned wheels cause uneven wear on their own.
How often
- Every 5,000–10,000km is the general rule.
- Or simply at every service.
- Call into our Raymond Terrace store and we'll rotate them for you.
