Well the spare doesn't have to be rotated until it is used. As for the regularly used tires, you won't hurt anything by speeding up the schedule, especially with rough roads. Remember the intervals are always just a suggestion, not the final word since they can't know the conditions you drive under. ----- Original Message ----- From: Agent86b To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 1:32 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rotating Tires
Hi Ray and all, the car is front wheal drive and I have 5 mag weals. We drive mainly on sealed roads and I check tyer pressures about every 2 weeks. Mostly there is only my wife and I travelling in the car. The only reason I thought I might rotate the wheels is to make sure they are done about every 8 - 10000 km. The service interval is every 15000 or 12 months which ever comes first.
