    Couple of caveats to this:
    1) Across the vehicle is only applicable so long as the tire treads are NOT unidirectional
    2) Staggered tires cannot be rotated front to back
    But most of Master Cooley's wisdom is applicable for most vehicles.

    Little disappointed he didn't talk about directional tread. Not all wheels can be moved to the other side of the car without unmounting and re-mounting the tires, something not easily done at home.
    I have 2 sets of wheels, summers and winters. When I change over in the spring and fall I do rotation at that time, but as both sets are directional tread, I only rotate front to back, never side to side.

  • @kenoday7562
    @kenoday7562 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The tires under torque stay on the same side, while the free rolling tires get crossed. With a 4X4, that means the rears go straight to the front and the fronts cross to the rear, same as a rear wheel drive vehicle, which is different than the AWD pattern. The major problem comes with DIRECTIONAL tread patterns, which is one reason I never recommended them much at the tire store. In order to rotate tires, you need to dismount and remount and rebalance 2 tires. Unless, of course, it's an AWD vehicle, then you need to dismount & mount, and rebalance all four tires. And we haven't touched on duallies, or working a full size spare into the rotation. Spoiler alert, if you have a dually, swap the rear INSIDE tires to the same side front, and take the front and move them to the rear outer, rear outer to rear inner.

  • @davidmccarthy6061
    @davidmccarthy6061 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Overall I agree but just to debate with nobody, I've always had very even wear on my many cars and often didn't rotate, and then just needed to buy only two at a time. Now that I can afford it as an old guy I can rotate and buy all four at once. In my long experience, both methods work. Total miles gotten out of a tire will vary this way but so much goes into tire wear that there is no way to test that without two identical cars driven the same days on the same roads in the same way. The main thing I believe is whether a car is driven aggressively or if you baby it to get every mile of life out of the tires.

You just have to drive a few miles so they can relearn however some cars have to be relearned like Ford, Chevy's that needs a scan tool to relearn the sensors. BMW and Mercedes you have to reset the pressure in the computer you can do that with no devices and VW as well however some VW have a reset button in the glovebox. They're all pretty different lol

    @jamesbubnick 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm...I agree and disagree...so yes tire rotation can help extend life and even wear but it depends on the car, rims, directional tires, miles driven per year. My meaning is for example I have an 80's Porsche that has the same sized tires all around but the front rims are narrower and at times I had directional tires so I'd literally have to dismount and remount 4 tires at $100 per pop and risk rim damage. I've had rim damage happen to a set of rims that just were refurbished and then taken to costco and they scratched every single rim on the installation machine...Next tires only last about 5 years before they dry rot so if you aren't going to wear the tires out by tread life it's another thing to think about.
    I think on a "normal car" with non directional tires and the same tires size on all rims go for it :) but if you have directional tires, or a special use case it isn't as clear cut.

    I never rotate. Keep the rears on until they dry rot or don't go past 6 years of age. Learn to read the tire date codes. The rear tread will last a very long time especially on FWD biased vehicle. When the fronts start to get close to the wear bars I replaced them. Having your tires balanced yearly is more useful than rotating.

    Rotation makes no difference over several years, if you rotate you end up buying all 4 less frequently as they wear evenly, if you don’t rotate you will end up buying 2 but more frequently , over time you end up buying the same amount of tyres.
