Have you checked, rotated, and balanced your tyres recently? Rotating and balancing your tyres can prolong their lifespan and improve your vehicle’s performance. You can visit CMH Haval Pinetown for advice on where to purchase tyres and how to run your car efficiently.
So, what is a tyre rotation?
It involves switching the position of your tyres to ensure balanced treadwear and optimal performance. Balancing, alignment, and tyre rotation are distinct processes. Front tyres wear out faster than rear tyres due to uneven treadwear caused by pressure from braking and turning.
Tyre rotation involves switching the wheel position to ensure even wear and favourable performance. Balancing ascertains the tread wears down equally across all tyres, while alignment evens the weight distribution.
Why should you rotate your tyres?
Tyre rotation has many benefits, including balanced treadwear, improved performance and handling, increased safety, and longevity in all your tyres. It reduces the potential for tyre failure.
How are tyres rotated and balanced?
Several factors determine tyre rotation, such as your vehicle’s drive train, tyre type, and driving habits. All tyres must be balanced and aligned to ensure safety during the rotation process.
How often should you rotate your tyres?
The frequency of tyre rotation depends on various factors, such as tyre type and vehicle condition. Rotation should be done about every 8000 kilometres, or every six months, and can be scheduled with an oil change or winter tyres.
