Rotate front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same
dimensions.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres have different dimensions can
render the general operating permit invalid.
The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels
differ:
R
Front wheels wear more on the shoulder of
the tyre
R
Rear wheels wear more in the centre of the
tyre
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can interchange the wheels every
5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the wear.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
the wheels.
It is imperative to observe the instructions and
safety notes on "Wheel change" when doing so.
