It was raining heavily and the television programming was awful - so I went outside and did the 6000 mile 5 tyre rotation procedure. Family are recommending me for psychiatric counselling on the basis of "How many Jimmy owners could be bothered doing that"? I did it regularly with the previous Jimmy and for me it will be interesting to note how the OEM Dunlops wear over the coming years. Do other forum members bother to do the 4 or 5 wheel rotation, as the dealers certainly don't include the option at service time?
I do a 5 wheel rotation on all my vehicles every six months, the dealer will do if requested, of course for a fee, which I feel is ridiculous, since they need to remove the wheels to perform the brake pad/lining thickness measurements, all they're really doing is putting it back in a different spot,
No rotation for 80000km. All 4 tyres have worn evenly. The spare however is still "new", but the rubber has hardened with time. When it comes time to replace tyres, I'll replace all 5.
Interesting mix of approaches - from an almost religious attention to compliance to 80.000 km without bothering! Nobody reporting bad wear leading to other issues. Thanks guys and food for thought.
