Twice a year or every 10,000 km (whichever comes first).
Rotation can be done either through the methods specified in Chapter Routine car maintenance intervals, or when signs of uneven tread wear appear. However, remember that if you successfully rotate all four wheels, you will eventually have to replace all tires at the same time.
Since this procedure requires raising the vehicle off the ground and removing the wheels, check the operation of the brakes at the same time (see section Checking the brake system).
Even if you are not going to rotate the wheels, at least check the tightness of the wheel mounting bolts.
It is recommended to rotate according to a special pattern so that the direction of their rotation is the same.
1. Refer to the information in Section Jacking, towing and changing wheels for proper lifting of the car and changing of the wheel.
2. The vehicle should be winched or placed on axle stands so that all four wheels are off the ground. Make sure the vehicle is securely supported!
3. After completing the rotation procedure, check and adjust the tire pressure and do not forget to check the tightness of the wheel mounting bolts.
