Tire Mixing and Rotation

🌀 Tire Rotation

To ensure even wear and maximize tire life:

• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s rotation pattern and interval, typically every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10,000 to 12,000 km), or sooner if uneven wear appears.
• Full-size spare tires (not temporary) should be included in the rotation if they are the same size and construction.
• Adjust air pressure as needed and match inflation to the vehicle standards.
• Use the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended inflation pressures, not the tire sidewall.
• Rotation may affect the TPMS. Have it recalibrated by a professional if needed.
• Do not reverse the rolling direction on directional tires.

🔀 Tire Mixing

• Match tire size, load index, and speed rating across all positions unless the vehicle manufacturer indicates otherwise.
• Mixing tires with different characteristics can lead to unsafe handling.
• Always consult vehicle and tire manufacturer guidelines before mixing.

⚠️ Important Notes on Mixing

• Some vehicles are designed with different front and rear tire sizes. Do not change this unless instructed.
• Never mix run-flat and non-run-flat tires unless specified.
• Temporary spares should be used only as directed; speed and distance limits apply.
• Replace both tires on the same axle. If only one is replaced, install the new tire on the rear axle for better traction and stability.

🔧 Other Considerations

• Inspect tires for cracking, damage, and tread depth.
• Check for uneven wear and repair or replace as needed.
• Avoid installing different types of tires unless specified.
• For 4WD/AWD systems, follow the manufacturer’s guidance to avoid drivetrain damage.
