How Often Should a Car Undergo Tire Rotation?

[LeGriffin]

It is recommended to perform a tire rotation every approximately 20,000 kilometers. Tire rotation involves swapping the positions of the wheels, such as front-to-rear, side-to-side, cross rotation, or full rotation. The purpose is to account for the uneven weight distribution of the vehicle and the varying forces exerted on the front and rear tires during driving, which leads to different wear patterns on the four tires. This practice helps ensure even tire wear and extends the overall lifespan of the tires. The steps for tire rotation are as follows: 1. Use a jack to lift the vehicle about 10 cm off the ground to test stability, then safely raise the vehicle to the appropriate height; 2. Remove the tires from the vehicle; 3. Perform dynamic balancing on all four tires; 4. Carry out the tire rotation; 5. Use a torque wrench to tighten the wheel bolts in the correct sequence and to the specified torque; 6. Lower the vehicle and tidy up.
