What’s the Difference: Tire Rotation vs. Wheel Alignment

The one way to help ensure a smooth ride every time you drive? Even tire wear. Tire rotations and wheel alignments help extend the life of your tires and help your car steer better. Learn the differences between these services and how often your vehicle needs them:

Tire Rotation

  • What it is: A normal tire rotation is just swapping and remounting your tires in certain positions to encourage even tire wear.
  • Benefits: You can expect your vehicle to have a better grip on the road, prolonged tire life, and of course improved handling for a smooth ride.
  • How often: We recommend looking into a tire rotation around every 5,000 miles, but your driving style, vehicle and tire type affect how soon you need a rotation.

Wheel Alignment

  • What it is: Alignments are all about your vehicle’s steering and suspension system. During a wheel alignment service, your technician will recalibrate parts of your steering and suspension to make sure your tires hit the pavement just right.
  • Benefits: Correctly aligned wheels reduce tire wear and help better steer the vehicle.
  • How often: You can’t go wrong booking a wheel alignment appointment once a year. Or the next time you come to Tires Plus we can perform a courtesy check to let you know if you’re due for a wheel alignment.

Help your tires last with regular tire rotations.

What Is a Tire Rotation?

A Tire Rotation is one of the key services you should regularly schedule for your vehicle. Your technician knows exactly how it works and why it’s important, but do you? When you come in for a tire rotation, each of your tires is moved to a different position on your vehicle. This matters because tires wear differently depending on their placement, so by rotating them, everything wears at an even pace. Keeping up with your manufacturer's recommended rotation intervals for your vehicle will keep you safe on the road.

 

Why Is a Tire Rotation Important?

A Tire Rotation is one of the most important auto maintenance services to keep on schedule. The reason? Driving too long with uneven tire wear can eventually put you at risk for accidents. When you go too long without a tire rotation and your tread gets too low or wears unevenly, you could experience problems like:

  • Less control in tough weather. Is it rainy? Your vehicle is more likely to hydroplane. Plus, your traction will be compromised during or icy and snowy drives.
  • Tire blowouts. The lower your tread depth, the less protection you have against hazards like rocks and rough pavement that can rupture your tires.

 

Most Common Tire Rotation Patterns

When you come in for a tire rotation at Tires Plus, we make sure to choose a rotation pattern that suits your vehicle’s driving capabilities. Here are the most common tire rotation patterns: 

Forward Cross

  • What is it? Swaps front and rear axle tires and the sides of the newly placed front tires (i.e., rear left becomes front right, and rear right becomes front left).
  • Tire type: Uniform size, non-directional tires
  • Drive type: Most common choice for vehicles with front-wheel drive

Rearward Cross

  • What is it? Swaps front and rear axle tires and the sides of the newly placed rear tires (i. e., front left becomes rear right, and front right becomes rear left).
  • Tire type: Uniform size, non-directional tires
  • Drive type: Vehicles with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive

While these are the most common types of tire rotations, they are not the only patterns. There are tire rotation patterns that account for full-size spare tires as part of the rotation, or if your vehicle uses special high performance or directional tires that have explicit axle placement specifications. You can always consult with a tire expert at Tires Plus before you get your tire rotation to figure out the best rotation pattern for you and your vehicle.

Tire Rotation

Monday, October 10, 2016 13:31:16 Europe/Moscow

Car tire wear cannot run evenly : Front tires tend to wear much faster than rear tires. There are several reasons for this. So, most often the front axle of the car is loaded more than the rear (mostly it accounts for about 60% of the mass of the car). The front tires are subject to wear when maneuvering and also wear due to non-zero camber and toe settings. In addition, tire wear is not least influenced by the type of vehicle drive: the drive axle causes the tires to wear out faster. Due to the rotation (rearrangement) of the wheels, it is possible to achieve their more uniform wear and, as a result, life extension .

There is another equally obvious benefit of wheel rotation: Tires with the same tread depth provide more comfort and safety . This is especially important when it comes to difficult weather conditions. For example, the most worn tires are more prone to hydroplaning.

How to properly rotate the wheels? It is perhaps better to build on the type of tires installed on your car. nine0003

Asymmetric non-directional tread pattern

The most popular type of civilian tire tread at the moment is asymmetric . For example, most models of the MICHELIN summer line have this, ranging from the economical Energy Saver to the sporty Pilot Super Sport. When installing asymmetric tires on rims, it is necessary to align the front side of the tire with the front side of the rim : for this, the sidewalls have the inscriptions Outside and Inside (outer and inner side of the tire) and there is no arrow for the direction of rotation. The convenience of this type of tread is that the assembled wheels can be interchanged in any way: the outside of the tire will remain the outside anyway . In this case, it is appropriate to use any of the rotation methods. Usually, the most suitable way to rearrange the wheels is indicated in the car's operating instructions, but if there is none on hand, then you can choose one of the methods we have proposed.

Method 1

The front left wheel is interchanged with the rear right and the front right with the rear left. This type of replacement is suitable for any type of vehicle drive and is most preferred for all-wheel drive vehicles. nine0003

Method 2

The rear wheels are moved to the front axle (the right rear wheel is replaced by the right front wheel, the left rear wheel is replaced by the left front wheel), while the front wheels are replaced by the rear wheels diagonally (the right front wheel is replaced by the left rear, left front - in place of the right rear). This method is suitable for cars with rear and all-wheel drive.

Method 3

The front wheels are installed in place of the rear wheels (the right front wheel is in place of the right rear wheel, the left front wheel in place of the left rear wheel), and the rear wheels, in turn, are moved diagonally to the front axle (the right rear wheel is placed in place of the left front, left rear - in place of the right front). This method is for front wheel drive vehicles. nine0003

Symmetric tread pattern

This type of tread pattern is mainly found on off-road and commercial tires. In the MICHELIN line, for example, the Agilis+ and Latitude Tour HP tire models are of this type. The rotation of tires with a symmetrical tread pattern is exactly the same as the method described above for asymmetric non-directional tires. There is only one difference in the operation of such tires: when assembling the wheels, it is not necessary to take into account the position of the outer and inner sides of the tire.

Symmetric directional tread pattern

Such tires are becoming less and less common in summer tires and almost always in winter: V-shaped tread allows the most effective removal of water from the contact patch. So, in the MICHELIN model range, CrossClimate summer tires and a number of winter tires (X-Ice North 3, Latitude X-Ice 3, Alpin 5, etc.) have a directional tread pattern. Rotation with directional tires mounted on disks can be done in only one way: by swapping the front and rear wheels, i.e. the front left wheel in place of the rear left, the front right in place of the rear right. nine0003

Asymmetric directional tread pattern

As the name implies, in addition to the outer and inner side, the tire tread pattern has a directional pattern. This type of tire is used only in motorsport due to the inconvenience of use, high cost and lack of tangible benefits for civilian use. Rotation with such tires is carried out in the same way as in the case of symmetrical directional tires: the front and rear wheels of each side of the car change places with each other. nine0003

Different size tires

Many sports cars are sometimes fitted with different size wheels: the rear tires are usually wider and larger in diameter. If the tires have an asymmetric non-directional tread pattern, then the wheels on each of the axles can be interchanged, but if we are dealing with directional tires, then alas, the rotation of such wheels without tire fitting is impossible.

Wheel rotation with spare wheel

This type of rotation allows to extend the life of the wheels by about 20% , but in reality this method is almost never used: many modern cars either don’t have a spare wheel in the trunk at all, or use a small “stowaway” as it. And even if your car is equipped with a full-size spare wheel, in practice it most often differs in either tire model or wheel type. However, if the spare tire is completely identical to the wheels installed on the car, then rotation in this case can be extremely useful. For ease of changing wheels, the type of tread pattern should be either asymmetric non-directional or symmetrical non-directional. The rotation process in this case is no longer as obvious as in the previous methods. nine0003

Method 1

The front right wheel is removed in place of the spare tire, the spare wheel is installed in place of the rear right wheel, the rear right in place of the front left, the front left in place of the rear left, the rear left in place of the front right.

Method 2

The spare wheel is installed in place of the rear right wheel, the rear right in place of the front right, the front right in place of the rear left, the rear left in place of the front left, and the front left wheel, in turn, is retracted onto spare place. nine0003

Wheel rotation frequency

The more often you change the wheels, the more evenly the tires will wear . But, since it is quite troublesome to do this too often, experts advise changing the wheels during periodic maintenance - when the car is somehow lifted onto a lift. As a rule, mileage of 8-10 thousand km is quite enough for the next rearrangement of wheels: in such a simple way, you can not only extend the life of tires, but also keep the driving safety at the proper level.
