Do I need to swap front and rear wheels?
How long a car tire lasts depends on many factors. Driving style, technical condition of the chassis of the car, wheel alignment, tire pressure, quality of the tires themselves, type of drive.
The fact is that the tires on the front and rear axles are subjected to different loads. Because of this, the degree of tire wear in front and behind is different. The front wheels are loaded more heavily, as there is a heavy power unit in front under the hood of the car. Plus, steering also increases tire wear. Thus, the edges of the tread are worn off on the front tires, on the rear tires, the middle part mainly suffers. Influences the degree of wear and type of drive. The tires of the driving wheels wear out more intensively. The rotation of the wheels makes it possible to make the wear of all tires more uniform.
The operating instructions for most cars require you to swap the wheels. Put the front back, rear - forward. In this case, it is not necessary to change the side of the wheel installation. And you need to regularly check the tread height and tire pressure.
