What type of maintenance is tire disassembly and rotation?
1 Answers
Tire disassembly and rotation is a maintenance procedure aimed at extending the overall service life of vehicle tires. Its purpose is to prevent uneven wear on car tires caused by prolonged use, which could compromise driving safety. The primary reason for uneven tire wear is the difference in forces exerted on front drive wheels and rear non-drive wheels, leading to varying degrees of wear. The benefits of tire rotation include: 1. More balanced tire wear; 2. Extended tire lifespan; 3. Prevention of abnormal tire wear; 4. Improved driving safety. Methods for tire rotation: 1. Front-to-rear and side-to-side swapping, or cross rotation; 2. Select tires with deeper tread patterns for front wheel positions.
