How Many Kilometers Should a Car's Tires Be Rotated?

[AmeliaLynn]

It is generally recommended to rotate the front and rear tires of a vehicle every 20,000 kilometers. However, there is no industry standard or specific regulation for this, so adjustments can be made based on the actual condition of the tires. Methods for rotating car tires: The rotation pattern varies depending on the vehicle's drive type. For front-wheel-drive vehicles, the left rear tire is moved 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, the left front is moved 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, all four tires are cross-rotated: 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 uneven wear (or one-sided wear) from prolonged use in a single position, tires should be rotated regularly to ensure even wear. This provides better performance throughout the tire's lifecycle and extends its service life.
