Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Tires

Video tutorial

What is the procedure for rotating tyres? The basic procedure is to loosen the wheel nuts while the car is still on the ground, then lift the car and secure it on axle stands. Remove the wheels and swap them according to the recommended pattern.

Typically, for front-wheel drive cars, the front wheels go directly to the back, while the rear wheels cross to the front. For rear-wheel drive and 4x4 vehicles, check the owner's manual, as specific cross patterns are often required.

Therefore, the pattern may vary based on the type of drive, directional tyres, or asymmetric tyres. It is essential to consult the vehicle's user and maintenance manual, and always tighten the wheel nuts and check the pressure after rotation.
