Rotation
The purpose of regular tyre rotation is to achieve a more uniform wear for all tyres on a vehicle. Before you rotate the tyres, consult the vehicle handbook for the recommended rotation interval. Generally speaking, tyres should be rotated every 10,000km.
Treadwear
In addition to visually inspecting your tyres for wear, here’s a simple test you can perform to measure the tread depth on your tyres: Place a twenty cent coin into a tread groove with 20 cent facing you. If you can see the word “CENTS” in full or have less than 1.0mm of tread depth in any groove, you need a new tyre. |
