Maximise Tyre Life & Improve Safety
Tyre wear is a natural part of driving, but uneven wear can shorten tyre lifespan and compromise safety. Regular tyre rotation helps distribute wear evenly, improving your vehicle’s handling, stability, and overall performance.
At Tiger Wheel & Tyre Botswana, we recommend rotating your tyres every 10,000 km to extend their lifespan and maintain optimal road grip.
Why Rotate Your Tyres?
Most vehicles are front-engine, meaning the front tyres carry more weight and wear out faster than the rear ones. Other factors that cause uneven tyre wear include:
• Turning Left: Many intersections and ramps require left turns, which are typically sharper than right turns. This results in faster wear on the right front tyre.
• Sidewall Damage: The left-side tyres are more likely to rub against pavements or curbs while parking, leading to uneven sidewall wear.
• Frequent Braking: Hard braking applies more stress to the front tyres, causing faster tread wear.
By rotating your tyres, you ensure even tread wear, enhancing road grip and stability.
How Tyre Rotation Works
Tyre rotation involves switching the position of your tyres to balance wear evenly:
• Step 1: Swap front and rear tyres
• Step 2: Swap left and right tyres if applicable
Some vehicles have different front and rear tyre sizes, making rotation limited. Our technicians will advise the best rotation pattern for your car.
When Should You Rotate Your Tyres?
• Every 10,000 km – this helps maximise tyre life and maintain even tread wear.
