- General Guideline: It is recommended that you have your tyres rotated, balanced every 5,000km to 8,000km and aligned every 2 years.
- Review Your Owner's Manual: The best source of information for your specific vehicle's tyre rotation schedule is your owner's manual. Manufacturers often provide recommendations for tire rotation intervals based on their knowledge of the vehicle's design and tire specifications.
- Regular Inspection: Regardless of the recommended interval, it's a good practice to visually inspect your tyres regularly for signs of uneven wear. If you notice uneven tread wear, it's a sign that your tires may need rotation sooner than scheduled.
- Driving Habits: Your driving habits and conditions can also affect how often you should rotate your tires. If you frequently drive on rough roads, carry heavy loads, or often engage in abrupt stops and turns, your tyres may wear more quickly, necessitating more frequent rotation.
- Tyre Type: Different types of tyres (e.g., front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive) wear differently, so the rotation schedule may vary depending on your vehicle's drivetrain configuration.
- Spare Tyre: Don't forget to include the spare tire in your rotation schedule, especially if it's a full-size spare that matches your other tyres.
