Your car's tyres provide grip and traction, absorb shock and impacts, and help maintain stability and control. Over time they can wear unevenly, which affects both their lifespan and how your car performs. Regularly rotating them helps distribute that wear evenly.
Why tyres wear unevenly
- Weight distribution — depending on the car's design and use, some tyres carry more load than others.
- Driving conditions — rough roads and higher speeds wear tyres faster.
- Misaligned wheels — wheels out of alignment cause uneven wear on their own.
What rotation gets you
- Prolonged lifespan — evenly distributed wear means the set lasts longer.
- Improved performance — evenly worn tyres handle, grip and stay stable better.
- Better fuel efficiency — less rolling resistance from uneven wear.
How often
- Every 5,000-10,000km is the general rule for most vehicles.
- Front tyres on front-drive cars work hardest — steering, acceleration and most of the braking.
- Call into either store and we'll rotate them for you.
