stants Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Does anyone bother rotating their tyres these days ? I've done it on cars in the past just wondering if theres any benefit on 4wd cars Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
4758nigel Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 i used to rotate my tyres but not bothered on my last few cars (14 cars in 5 years *cough*)
stants Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Haha I don't suppose you had them long enough to need to ! had done on rwd cars as I found the tyres would last longer Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
4758nigel Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 yeah they never really used to last me long till i got my 306 1.9 TD (diesel pugs are bullet proof apparently) i however didn't kill the engine as such just the ENTIRE electrical system the alternator was on the way out and it melted the main loom but before that i'd had it 18 months then i had a 1.4 civic 5Dr it lasted around 15-16 months until i part exchanged it for the scooby and now i shall keep it for MANY MANY years to come!
stants Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Typical french engineering ! I don't have a handbook for mine so I don't know if it's advised or not. Sent from my SM-T210 using Tapatalk
BoozyDave Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I don't bother, the rear wheels do most of the accelerating and the front wheels steer, so not worth it IMO
Jonny b Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 I rotate mine every oil change! 5k!! Most subaru dealerships say ιt don't matter!! Good ones recommend ιt!! Tyres last longer but you do replace all 4 at the same time!! Impreza uses a viscous coupling, so really needs the tyres to be the same all round!! Little differences lιke lighting up tyres On a roundabout will be compensated for! But if you do 6000 miles on a set of tyres that have a 6mm difference front to rear! Imagine the difference in revolutions due to circumference?? Some say ιt's ok! I prefer to er on the side of caution! 1
