Such that they become noisy when moved to the front. why would the rears have uneven wear? high negative camber? toe in/out? or bushings worn, thus alignment went off? actually its a good practice to do rotation every 10k, as it's a perfect opportunity for the tyres to be inspected for uneven wear, damage etc. for my AWD car, i would rotate every 8-10k, until i had a mechanical LSD installed in the rear a few years ago. With the rear LSD, the rear tyres wear out almost at the same rate as the fronts (i don't usually put high neg camber on my fronts for daily drive) so i can rotate at 15-18k or so. Then i would make sure the tyres are checked whenever the oil is changed or other work is done on the car at wkshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hosaybo 6th Gear March 25, 2022 Share March 25, 2022 Warranty claim is mostly nice to hear only and for show cos end up, it will be a wear and tear issue unless you had a problem just right after the purchase. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfway through the life span of 20k to 25k just switch once would do. I rotated when hit 20k and planning to change at 40-45k km now my tyre tread for all tyres about the same depth 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with old tyres at the back causing oversteer, the 2 effects should shui shui cancel out each other and we should get very neutral handling! 😄 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear March 29, 2022 Share March 29, 2022 @Mkl22 you are very correct to said that. first we must understand the rationale of Tire warranty? is a Quality assurance by the manufacturers, i personally wont and buy a Products has No Warranty especially Risk like quality failure will lead to some kind of Danger. and some cases tire failed are due to drivers negligent like poor maintenance like low pressure , wrong tire size , tire punctured repair by not recommended way (external repair). i am very sure if you are the Manufactures you wont accept claim when is due to Wear and tare or Improper use of your Products. just my Persoanl POV Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
