Tires on the front and rear axle have a different function and load. The front tire always loads more weight than the rear because of engine weight. Tire wear on the front wheel is much more than the rear. Car and tire makers are always instructed to have tire rotation every 5,000 – 7,000 miles or 10,000 km. approximately.
There are two types of tire tread, non-directional or symmetrical and directional or asymmetrical tire. The non-directional tire has its tread design for a roll in both directions, forward and backward.
The directional tire has a more specific design for a good grip and sheds water. This tire can also roll both directions but it has a different mounting point, inside and outside. It must be installed correctly, inside must always be inward.
The car with a non-directional tire can rotate its tires directly from front to rear or rear to front and from left to right or right to left. It differs from the directional tire which rolls in one direction only. Therefore, you are needed to rotate the directional tire from front to rear and rear to front.
