WHY IS 4X4 TYRE ROTATION IMPORTANT?
When carrying out tyre rotation on any four wheel drive vehicle, it’s important to match tread depth across all four tyres in order to avoid transmission wind up. This is where more stress than necessary is placed on certain tyres when turning, as all four wheels will travel different distances when turning. Transmission wind up tends to occur with four wheel drive vehicles when on unforgiving road surfaces, and you may notice this occurring when your tyres start to skip over the road’s surface, or if the steering becomes heavy.
This is the point at which major damage can occur. This may be to transmission components, axles and differentials, all of which can be incredibly expensive to replace.
HOW DO YOU ROTATE TYRES ON A 4X4?
In the case of 4x4 vehicles, tyre rotation works slightly differently. As four wheel drive vehicles are designed to see a more even distribution of weight throughout the vehicle and through all four tyres due to the central differential, your 4x4 vehicle will always handle better and grip the road better with four tyres that are of equal tread depth. So how should you rotate tyres on 4x4 vehicles? The recommended tyre rotation pattern for four wheel drive vehicles: Move the two front tyres to the back and switch sides, while the rear tyres move to the front of the vehicle and switch sides. This is to ensure that the tyres see even wear on the inner and outer parts of the tyre. Tyre rotation on your vehicle, whether four wheel drive or otherwise, should also be checked with the manufacturer where possible. This is because some manufacturers will recommend that the tyres with the least wear should be placed on the rear of the vehicle, as wearing rear tyres could mean an increased risk of the rear end of the vehicle slipping in wet conditions. Some mechanics will recommend that SUVs or vehicles that are part time four wheel drive will need the most regular tyre rotations, as this will help the modern electronic systems to work as intended.
