CONVENTIONAL ROTATION:

 

The vehicle has 4 new tires which are rotated front to back every 6000km.   On a front wheel drive vehicle having 60% of its weight on

the front and 40% weight on the rear each rotation adds 10% more traction to the front than the back. At the beginning of the rotation

the vehicle has 70% traction on the front and 30% traction on the rear.  When the tires are down to 1/4 tread depth the vehicle has 750hrs of driving time left until the tires are replaced, on 4 tires which have less than 25% tread.

 

ALTERNATIVE ROTATION:

The tires are rotated from side to side.  When the front tires need to be replaced the new tires are mounted on the back, the rear tires are moved to the front.  Only 2 tires are replaced at a time.  The traction problem due to the weight difference is also partially corrected and at any one time the vehicle is only driven for 250hrs on two tires which have less than 1/3 tread

  1. Some people are trying to get a perfect option of tyres by which they do not have to change it according to the seasons. Mainly they want to avoid the complete mess. Changing the tyres seasonally also becomes expensive. Here, you have to spend money twice in a year for using different set of tyres in different weather conditions.
