You should rotate your tyres every 6,000 miles so that they wear evenly and so that you can keep them as long as possible.
The way you should rotate your tyres is different depending on your vehicle and whether your tyres are asymmetrical, directional or symmetrical:
How do I rotate directional or asymmetrical tyres?
If your four tyres have the same dimensions
If your rear and front tyres are not the same size
How do I rotate symmetrical tyres?
If your car is a front-wheel drive
If your car is a rear-wheel drive
If your car is a 4x4
Where should I fit two new tyres?
We recommend that you fit new tyres at the rear of your vehicle. The newer your tyres are, the lower the risk of aquaplaning or skidding. If your car skids from the back, it's be much harder to regain control than if it skids from the front.
Which tyre wears out fastest?
On an FWD, front tyres wear faster than rear tyres. On an RWD, the rear tyres wear faster than the front tyres.
