albert Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Half rotation after 10k km: Rear both will come in front and vice versa in same order Full rotation after 20k km: Rear both will come in front in same order and front both will go to back in alternate order (Left to right and right to left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdubai Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 note that tire rotatiopn can only be done in this order with the same size tyres, with the 6 series, the rear tyres are usually larger and tyres are usually rotational, so rotation is not possible.

Barry Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Jack car up, remove wheels, fit the wheels that were originally on the front to the back and vice versa. 10-20 minutes if you have the proper tools such as a vehicle lift and air gun. But as stated, this can only be done if the front and rear tyres are the same size. The size will be stamped on the side of the tyre and look something like 245/40 R18. 245 is the width of the tyre in millimetres, 40 is the depth of the sidewall in millimetres and 18 is the size of the rim in inches. Why they mix metric and imperial sizes on tyres I don't know. A few manufacturers have tried to use strictly metric sizing in the past but it never really took off. There is no recommended mileage to rotate your tyres at. Tyres wear differently on different vehicles according to factors such as how the car is driven, tracking, environmental factors etc. and rotation should be done based on a visual comparison of wear between front and rear.

treks Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Bear in mind that cars with 17-,18-,19-inch rims usually have uni-directional tyres on the rims. This means that the tyre can only be used on one side of a vehicle, since the tyres were made to rotate in only one direction at high speeds. Therefore, these tyres cannot be fitted to the other side of the car, even if they are the same size. Rotating this tye of tyre to the other side of the vehicle will almost certainly cause catastrophic tyre failure, so have a good look at what type of tyres you have before you rotate them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
