Four (4) Tire Rotation What tire rotation pattern should be followed? The Tire & Rim Association has identified three traditional rotation patterns covering…

…Full-Size Matching Spare Tires and Wheels While full-size matching spare tires and wheels require the greatest amount of storage space, they are the most versatile. Full-size matching spare tires and wheels should be integrated into the vehicle's tire rotation pattern from the beginning. This will…

…vehicle's tire rotation pattern, it will not match the tread depth of the four worn tires on the ground when called into service. Additionally, if a single tire is replaced by the full size spare tire, hopefully the new replacement tire can remain as the spare tire until the other four tires have…

…tire and wheel combination as its spare, they should be included in the vehicle's tire rotations beginning with the first one. This will allow the owner to secure the spare tire's value and will prevent it from eventually aging out before ever being used. Adding a fifth tire to the rotation pattern…

…spare tire should use the vehicle's five-tire pattern at every tire rotation. Not only will this prevent the spare tire from sitting idle, it will keep all five tires' tread depths roughly equivalent throughout their life and extend the tire replacement intervals (if rotating four tires would result…

…the front? If your noisy tires have a similar wear pattern, you've got heel-to-toe wear. How do your tires develop heel-to-toe wear? As your tires roll, the front of each tread block gets compressed, and the back of each tread block wears faster. If you simply rotate front-to-back, this will not…

…can increase the fatigue rate of alloy wheels. In normal street driving, wheels are typically removed from the vehicle only when the tires are being rotated (typically every 5,000 miles) or replaced (typically every 25,000 to 40,000 miles). But when used on the track, wheels are typically removed…

…it's probable the first tire rotation will be required as a stand-alone service. NOTE: Skipping tire rotations is likely to promote irreversible irregular tread wear patterns that will increase noise over time.

…the rotation patterns provided in the vehicle's owner's manual or as established by the industry to help enhance wear quality and equalize front-to-rear and side-to-side wear rates. The minor differences in tread depth between tires that might be encountered immediately after periodic tire rotations…

…rotated and aligned, replacing worn suspension components as necessary. Since according to most states' laws, tires become legally worn out when they reach 2/32" of remaining tread depth (identified when the tread blocks/ribs wear down to the bars molded across their tread pattern), all tire…

…will resist hydroplaning and allow for cross-rotation, leading to more even wear. 205 or narrower tires have four ribs (rows of tread blocks), 205-255 width tires have five ribs and 295-265 width tires have six ribs. In the photo below, you can see some examples of the tread design differences.…
