The Importance of Regular Tyre Rotation

Tyres on the drive axle (usually the front for most cars) wear out faster due to steering forces and engine torque. Rotating your tyres helps distribute this wear evenly across all four tyres.

Promotes Even Wear

Ensures your tyres wear down at a similar rate, preventing premature replacement of a single pair.

Extends Tyre Lifespan

Get thousands of extra miles from your set of tyres, maximising your investment and saving money.

Improves Safety

Balanced tread depth across all tyres provides predictable handling, traction, and braking performance.

Common Tyre Rotation Patterns

The correct rotation pattern depends on your vehicle type (FWD, RWD, 4WD/AWD) and whether your tyres are directional or non-directional. Our technicians will use the right pattern for your car.

Forward Cross

Best for front-wheel drive vehicles. Front tyres move straight back, while rear tyres cross to opposite sides of the front axle.

Rearward Cross

Common for rear-wheel and four-wheel drive vehicles. Rear tyres move straight forward, while front tyres cross to the rear axle.

X-Pattern

An alternative for front-wheel drive cars, where all tyres are swapped diagonally. Also used for light trucks.

Supplying All Major Tyre Brands

As an independent garage, we can source and fit tyres from any brand to match your vehicle’s specifications and your budget. Whether you need premium performance tyres from Michelin or reliable budget options from Avon, we have the right solution for you. We’re not tied to any single manufacturer, so our advice is always honest and focused on your needs.

How Often Should You Rotate Your Tyres?

As a general rule, we recommend rotating your tyres every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or every six months. It’s also a good idea to have them rotated with every oil change. Check your vehicle’s owner manual for manufacturer-specific recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a wheel alignment with a tyre rotation?

Not necessarily, but it’s a good time to check. If we notice any signs of uneven wear caused by misalignment during the rotation, we will recommend an alignment check to prevent further damage.

How long does a tyre rotation take?

A standard tyre rotation is a quick service that typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes.

Can you rotate directional tyres?

Yes. Directional tyres must be rotated from front to back on the same side of the vehicle to maintain the correct rotation direction. They cannot be swapped from side to side.
