Recycled Tyres Maintenance and Rotation with Premium Brands

Sep 20, 2021

Wheels certainly do go round - but ‘tyre rotation’ means switching up the position of tyres. It helps them to last longer, and it keeps the vehicle’s occupants safer because the tyres have better traction.

Why Tyre Rotation Should be on Every Car Maintenance Checklist and How to Do It

Tyre rotation is important for the tyre to wear evenly, and helps tyres to last longer. Regular tyre rotation helps to ensure the safety of motorists as the rotation of the tyres maintains the tyre tread that provides the tyre with traction. Chris Lett, an Australian tyre recycler and owner of Branigans Tyres, explains the importance of tyre maintenance.

“A vehicle’s tyres should be rotated every 10,000km or so, and for those who drive a fair amount, that will probably coincide with their vehicle’s oil change and service,” says Lett. “Upon the tyre maintenance and services, the wear and damage of the tyres can be repaired or replaced with quality recycled tyres,” adds Lett.

Why Tyre Rotation Works

“Tyres don’t wear out evenly,” says Lett. In front-wheel-drive cars, the front tyres will bear the brunt of the torque and friction whenever the driver accelerates, brakes, or turns. As a result, they wear much faster than the rear tyres. Lett explains, “if the front tyres are rotated to the rear of the car, the fresher rear tyres will go to the front, allowing for more even tyre wear and less frequent replacement.” “Even treadwear translates to better traction and better handling for a safer drive”, Lett adds.

More Than One Way to Do It

There are different types of tyre rotation. “The type and size of tyres are important,” says Lett. Some tyres are “directional” and some cars have different size tyres on the front and rear axles. “Tyre professionals know which type of rotation to apply,” says Lett/

Non-Directional, Same Size

When all tyres are non-directional and of the same size, a rearward cross, forward cross, or X-pattern can be adopted.

“Rearward cross rotation is good for four-wheel-drive and rear-wheel drive vehicles,” says Lett. The front tyres go to the rear axle and their sides are switched. The rear tyres go to the front axle and are kept on the same side. Forward cross rotation works the other way round as is usually best for front-wheel-drive cars.

Directional Tyres and High-Performance Tyres

With directional tyres, “sides cannot be switched, but it’s possible to switch axles, so this type of tyre rotation is termed front-to-back rotation,” says Lett. When a vehicle has “different tyre sizes on the front and rear axles, tyres can be switched to opposite sides but should not be transferred from one axle to another,” adds Lett.

Don’t Forget the Wheel Balancing

“If motorists decide to do their own tyre rotation, they should lookout for signs that their wheels need rebalancing,” says Lett. “Vibrations on the steering wheel is a sure sign that the wheels are unaligned or unbalanced on the axil,” adds Lett.

Vehicle owners are advised to services tyres from tyre experts to ensure the safety of road users. Tyre services and maintenance are quick and efficient, “drivers will save a lot of time and money by ensuring their tyres are balanced correctly,” says Lett. “Many drivers don’t rotate their tyres at all,” says Chris. “They could save a substantial amount of money over time if they did.”
