Tips on tire rotation

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

This video provides us with some useful tips on how to properly rotate the tires on our car. In this case, since the tires are directional, the rotation should be done front to back and not in an "X" pattern. With the car still on the ground, we loosen the bolts. The YouTuber has applied some masking tape to the key to prevent scratching the rim. Before placing the jack, we check the exact point where it should be positioned, as each car is different. The jack we have is not suitable for this type of operation, as it is only designed to change a tire, and nothing else. We place support columns under the car and then remove the tires: we take this opportunity to clean the inside and outside of the rim, the brake caliper, and the wheel arches. We check the thickness of the disc - which should be changed every two times we change the brake pads - and clean it with a specific detergent. We remount the tire by reversing the operations we did earlier: then we proceed to the other side.
