It is recommended to rotate the tires every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. The reasons are as follows: 1. To ensure relatively consistent service life between the front and rear tires, follow the relevant prompts in the provided by the car manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not specify a specific tire rotation interval or if the owner has replaced the tires with modified tires of different specifications, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 8,000 km to 10,000 km. 2. Four-wheel-drive vehicles should rotate tires every 6,000 km. 3. Depending on the vehicle's drive type, the tire rotation methods vary. Front-wheel-drive vehicles: Move the left rear to the right front, right rear to the left front, left front to the left rear, and right front to the right rear. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles: Move the left front to the right rear, right front to the left rear, left rear to the left front, and right rear to the right front. Four-wheel-drive vehicles: Cross-rotate all four wheels, i.e., left front to right rear, right front to left rear, left rear to right front, and right rear to left front.
It's recommended to rotate your tires every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, which I find particularly important as it directly relates to driving safety. Uneven tire wear increases the risk of blowouts or loss of control, especially in rainy conditions or on highways. I usually drive on city roads and once neglected rotation, resulting in the car skidding during a turn, which gave me a real scare. I suggest combining this with regular vehicle maintenance, such as checking during oil changes. By the way, also keep an eye on tire pressure, maintaining it within the recommended values in the manual to ensure even force distribution and wear. Remember not to delay this—safety comes first, ensuring you can enjoy every drive with peace of mind.
