Tyre rotation is an important measure to extend the service life of tyres. It is recommended that fuel vehicles perform tyre rotation every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometres. For new energy vehicles, due to their heavier weight and unique torque output characteristics, the rotation frequency should be increased to every 6,000 to 8,000 kilometres. The rotation method should be adjusted based on the drivetrain configuration: for front-wheel drive vehicles, It is best to move the front wheels straight to the rear while crossing the rear wheels to the front; for four-wheel drive vehicles, cross rotation is recommended to ensure even wear. Regular rotation can prevent uneven wear caused by prolonged fixed positioning of steering or drive wheels, particularly for new energy vehicles which are more susceptible to accelerated front tyre wear due to the concentrated mass of the battery pack. During operation, tyre pressure (recommended 2.3-2.5 bar for fuel vehicles, with an additional 0.2 bar for new energy vehicles) and wheel alignment data should be checked concurrently. Note that tyre rotation differs from replacement - even with regular rotation, tyres must be replaced immediately when tread depth reaches ≤1.6mm, sidewall bulges appear, or the tyres exceed six years of service.
