Tire Rotation

[stradakid]

Depende yun kung gaano kabigat na lead kailangan para mabalance yung tires. It could have gone the other way. Puno't dulo e ma balance yung rim para di mag wiggle at high speeds.

If you're tires are not lahat the same age, yung mas bago sa harap. Mas mabilis ma wear sa harap lalo pa pag car.

Agree. Agree.

Nung nagpalit ako ng tires nag pa align ako sa Goodyear Servitek, imbes na walang kiling e nagkaroon at malakas talaga. Binalik ko, nawala yung kiling sa kanan, sa kaliwa naman pumunta. Bahagya lang naman. Tinamad na akong magpunta uli para ipa back job. Masama noon e nagbayad pa ako sa alignment.Magaling pa yata sa Blumentritt.

sir got same problem dati.. my lesson is di talaga tamang eh align sya if okey pa ang alignment.. dapat lng palit tires at salpak lang. so sensitive ang aligment pag nasira na mahirap eh balik sa dati .

ganun yung sa auto ko. yung dalawang bago (sabay nabili) sa harap tapos sa likod yung luma. so kung ganito ang sitwasyon, di na applicable ang tire rotation?ganun nga ba?

Nice tips, driven. I'm on my 28,000 kms. After I rotate my tires at 30,000 kms, I'd do the rotation every 5,000 kms. Thanks.

anytime dude

when my tires were rotated, I noticed that my rims have different sizes of lead weights. The front tires have smaller lead weights than the rear tires. Would this affect my wheel balance? What will be the expected effect?

Wheels are balanced while they are not installed on the vehicle.
They couldn't care less what position they get put back in unless you are using directional wheels/tires or tires of different sizes.

Im driving a 4x4. Mas madali talaga mapudpud ang harap, bukod sa mabigat ang front dahil sa engine e that's where you steer.

How do you incorporate the spare in tire rotation?

[H1Tman]

it might be in your manual.

[recklus]

i do the rotation myself every 10k, i'm planning to make it every 5k (kung sipagin). ganda kasi ng result when you rotate, i always end up buying 1 set of tires in a span of 4-5 yrs. ang sarap pa magpa-align pag 4 new tires, alang kabig talaga

[altec]

better if you can include the spare tire in the rotation. If not, then rotate the 4 tires. But when you replace the worn out tires, you must use the spare tire among the 4 because the rubber in the tire only has a recommended life span of 5 years. Beyond that, tires, especially the sidewall, has tendency to become brittle or less flexible.

to those without manuals, here is the schematic diagram i copied from a chevy colorado manual:

this is a little bit complicated...

Spare to 4, 4 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 1, 1 becomes the spare
