Tire Rotation Service at Lou Fusz Toyota Service Center

Whether you choose to do your own tire rotation or visit the St. Louis Toyota Service Center, make sure you stay on top of this crucial maintenance. Doing so will provide better traction on the St. Louis roads and maximize the lifespan of your tires. Toyota Service Center St. Louis can guide your tire rotation process, so your tires can cover the most miles.

Why Do I Need To Rotate My Tires?

Every person and vehicle drives differently, and subsequently, all tires will wear down at different times. With the impact tires face when turning, the outside edges of the front tires will receive more wear and tear, while the rear tires will have more even wear. If the tires are left on the same axle, they will wear down at different times, and they will need to be replaced sooner than they would be needed if the tires were rotated properly over time.

How Often Should Tires Be Rotated?

Both front and rear-wheel drive vehicles will usually need a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. With an all-wheel drive vehicle, all four tires are constantly engaged and face faster wear. These vehicles require more frequent changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. For more specific recommendations, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

Tire Position

• FWD Tires: Your trusted technician will move the front tires to the back and keep them in the same left-right positions, and bring the rear tires to the front they will need to switch spots for the left and right tire (back left tire goes to right front, back right tire goes to left front).
• RWD Tires: The process changes a little for rear-wheel drive vehicles. The rear tires can be moved to the front and keep the same left/right positions, but when moving the front tires, they need to be switched around to the back (left front tire to back right, front right tire to back left).
