Tire rotation
 

BMW says not to.

I didn't w/great success on my 4x4 Explorers.

I did w/very poor success initially on a rear drive -- then stopped and was much happier.

What do you folks think -- I have 2012 LR4.

TIA,


Jim

I rotate my tires every time I drive. ;)

I never rotate my tires.
On a front wheel drive car the rears will last twice as long as the fronts if you do not rotate them.
On a full time 4x4 they wear out at about the same time as long as you dont have alignment issues.

This is what I do, others will say rotate front to back.
Yet others will say to rotate in a "X" pattern, and others still will say to include your spare tire in the rotation.

I say that is alot of work to save a few thousand miles of tread wear.

oddly enough in my owners book for my '96 discovery on page 148 in General Data it states "DO NOT interchange tyres from front to back.

:eek::confused::eek::confused::eek::confused:

Part of the 1yr/15k service (paid by LR) included rotation: rear to front -- front crossed to back.

We already know Rover knows very little.
I always rotate front to rear, usually only twice in a set of tires cause I get so little wear and if I do it is because of my rear Detroit.
