Wheel swap

In front-wheel drive vehicles, as a result of a greater load on the front tires, tread wear occurs earlier than on rear axle tires.

To equalize the life of all 4 tires of the car, it is recommended to rearrange the front wheels with tires on the rear axle and vice versa.

For tires with directional tread, make sure they are not upside down.

The longer a tire is used on a particular wheel of a vehicle, the more it aligns, so it is recommended to change wheels at short intervals, such as every 5,000 km.

Diagonal shifting is only possible on tires without directional tread. This type of rearrangement is especially justified when the tread is worn in the form of a sawtooth track

If the wear of the sawtooth tread progresses and the tread is worn by more than 50%, this type of replacement will give only a small increase in mileage and is practically not justified. The elasticity of the tread blocks deteriorates and sawtooth wear stops progressing.
