What is Tyre Rotation?
Four (4) Tire Rotation
What should tire rotation pattern be followed? The Tire & Rim Association has identified three traditional rotation patterns covering most vehicles (with non-directional tires and wheels of the same size and offset). The first is the “Rearward Cross” (Figure A); the second is the “ForwardCross” (Figure C), and the third is the “X-Pattern” (Figure B). The X-Pattern can be used as an alternative to A or C.
Today’s performance tire and wheel trends have provided the need for two additional tire rotation patterns.
• The “Front-to-Rear” (Figure D) pattern may be used for vehicles equipped with the same size of directional wheels and/or directional tires.
• A “Side-to-Side” (Figure E) pattern may be used for vehicles equipped with different-sized non-directional tires and wheels on the front axle compared to the rear axle.
Five (5) Tire Rotation
While many vehicles are equipped with temporary spares that cannot be included in a tire rotation program if the vehicle’s four wheels and tires on the ground match the spare wheel and tire (if non-directional and not branded “for temporary use”), they should be included in the tire rotation pattern. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire rotation procedures, or if not available, insert the spare in the right rear position at every rotation. Place the tire that would have gone to the right rear in the trunk as the spare until the next tire rotation.
• On front-wheel drive cars with full-size matching spares, rotate the tires in a forward cross pattern (Figure F)
• On rear-wheel or four-wheel drive cars with full-size matching spares, rotate the tires in a rearward cross pattern (Figure G)
