What level of maintenance does tire disassembly, inspection, and rotation belong to?

Tire disassembly, inspection, and rotation belong to secondary maintenance. Below is an introduction to tire rotation: 1. Tire rotation is a maintenance measure to extend the service life of the vehicle's tires. Its main purpose is to prevent uneven wear on the car tires over time, which could affect driving safety. 2. The primary reason for uneven tire wear is that tires are divided into front drive wheels and rear non-drive wheels, which bear different forces and thus experience different degrees of wear. Additionally, during braking, the car does not distribute the braking force as evenly as one might think. Generally, the front wheels play the main role in deceleration, so the front tires usually wear out more severely than the rear tires.

The first car I bought, tire rotation is part of my routine maintenance and falls under preventive care. Every six months, I drive to the shop where the mechanic removes the tires to carefully check the pressure, wear, and cracks, then swaps their positions to ensure even wear. This significantly extends the tire lifespan, saving me from spending unnecessarily on premature replacements. Driving feels much smoother afterward, with quicker brake response, especially reducing skidding after rain. I recommend combining it with a wheel alignment for better results. I think this small effort doesn’t take much time—spending a few hundred on maintenance now avoids costly repairs later. By the way, you can DIY, but pay attention to balance and bolt torque; it’s best to leave it to professionals for peace of mind.

In my years of experience in car repair, tire rotation is purely a preventive maintenance measure. By inspecting tire conditions and regularly rotating their positions, it ensures even wear distribution and prevents safety hazards caused by uneven wear. This practice saves costs - a good tire running an extra 10,000 kilometers can save over 2,000 yuan, with overall maintenance expenses being extremely low. I advise vehicle owners to perform this every 8,000 kilometers or six months, while simultaneously checking tire pressure and tread depth. Consistently maintaining this practice improves fuel efficiency, makes driving smoother, and definitely doesn't qualify as emergency repair. Small investment brings big returns - why wouldn't you do it?

Tire rotation falls under the category of preventive maintenance. The disassembly and inspection process helps me promptly identify potential hazards, such as small stones or bulges, while rotation ensures even wear and extends tire lifespan. This maintenance saves money and ensures safety, especially enhancing stability during high-speed driving. I perform it every 5,000 kilometers, combining it with other routine maintenance tasks.
