When to Rotate Tires: FWD & RWD Vehicles

When driving a front-wheel-drive vehicle, power is transferred from the engine to the front wheels only. As a result, the front wheels are responsible for propelling and steering the vehicle on the roads of Appleton. With rear-wheel drive, the rear wheels take that power and are responsible for the vehicle’s movement. Front and rear wheels on these two drivetrains wear differently, with front tires wearing faster on FWD models and rear tires wearing faster on RWD models. As a result, different tire rotation patterns are needed for each drivetrain.

Check out the variations in rotation patterns below:

  • How many miles to rotate tires: If you are driving FWD or RWD cars, they should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Consult your owner’s manual for exact figures on your vehicle.
  • FWD: If your vehicle has this drivetrain, move the rear right tire to the front left position, and the rear left tire to the front right position. However, when you move the front tires back, they can stay on their original sides.
  • RWD: With RWD, invert the process above, flipping sides when you move the front tires back, and keeping the rear tires on their original sides when you move them forward.

When to Rotate Tires: AWD Tire Rotation Tips

How often should you rotate your tires if you drive an all-wheel drive model? Determining when to rotate your tires on an AWD model can depend on various factors, such as the type of terrain you frequently drive on or how often you venture off-road around Manitowoc. However, experts generally recommend a mileage range of 5,000 to 8,000 miles for tire rotations. Unlike FWD or RWD models, all four of the tires on an AWD vehicle will experience uneven wear, making it challenging to balance tread wear out properly. It’s best to have a professional handle your AWD tire rotation for optimal results.
