rotating tyres question

[dupac->]

Hey,

very noob question.

i was looking at to rotate my tyres myself.

is it as simple as just swapping the rear tyres to the front? and vice versa?


or does it need to be balanced n shit again before being swapped?

like for tyre wear or alignment issues..

[lilthug]

if they are rotational. put the back to front and vice versa

if they arent swap rear left and front right etc

not 2 sure about the balancing. but i believe u only need 2 balance when putting the tyres on the rim

actually on nondirectional its better to
put the fronts on the back - front left goes rear left
but crisscross the back with the front - rear left front right

yeah i think the pattern are rotational.

but question leans more towards the balacning

LOL wtf?
so why dont u just move the front left to the front right LOLOL

[lilthug]

putting the fronts on the back would evenly wear out the tyres

instead of having fronts 20% and rears 80%
they both would be 50-50
for example

LOL wtf?
so why dont u just move the front left to the front right LOLOL

thats what i was thinkink if they wre non directional tyres


lol


balanciung the tyres.. doesnt matter if its for fornt of the car or rear??

[ekhybrid]

du, non directional will should be
front right to rear left
front left to rear right
left rear to rear front
right rear to front left
so just swap them to the opposite corners

if directional
swap them front to back but on the same side, ie rear right goes to front right...
