Do You Need to Change the Wheel Hub When Rotating Car Tires?
1 Answers
When rotating car tires, it is necessary to change the wheel hub as well. This avoids the need to remove the tires, reduces labor time, and protects both the wheel hubs and tires from secondary damage. Below is a detailed introduction to tire rotation: Methods for Rotating Car Tires: The rotation method varies depending on the vehicle's drive configuration. For front-wheel-drive vehicles: Move the left rear to the right front, the right rear to the left front, the left front to the left rear, and the right front to the right rear. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles: Move the left front to the right rear, the right front to the left rear, the left rear to the left front, and the right rear to the right front. For four-wheel-drive vehicles: Cross all four wheels, meaning move the left front to the right rear, the right front to the left rear, the left rear to the right front, and the right rear to the left front. Reasons for Rotating Car Tires: To prevent prolonged wear in a single direction (uneven wear), tires should be rotated regularly and timely to ensure even wear. This provides better performance throughout the tire's lifecycle and extends its service life.
