May 2nd, 2008Rotating Tires
A car can run longer distances and give a better performance for a number of years only if you maintain it properly. The servicing of the engine is not enough. The car does not run solely on the engine. An integral part of the car which many people easily ignore is the tire. Due to daily use, they get worn and torn and ultimately, they are so burnt out that you need to buy new ones, eventually making a dent in your pocket. An easy solution to this is rotating tires. As the name suggests, you need to exchange tires of front and back. In case you are still clueless about this, check out this information on how to rotate tires.
----------Advertisements------------You Need:
4 Jack Stands
Car Jacks
Lug Wrenches
Spare Tires
Tires
Instructions
Keep spare tires ready with you for changing. It should be the regular tire you can use for long distance driving and not the temporary spare that is used in case of an emergency.
Take the 4 jack stands and jack up the car carefully. The car must be raised on a plain level and each jack must be raised uniformly so as to provide balance and symmetry.
Now, remove the front and back tires from the right side of the car. Fix the back tire on the front and the spare tire at the rear. Use the old front tire as your new spare tire. If the original spare tire is unusable in the long term, just switch the front and back tires.
Repeat this process on the left side of the car by exchanging the front and the rear tires.
Now, very carefully lower down the car from the jack stands, doing it one wheel at a time.
