| Greater tread wear occurs on tyres on the front axle of front-wheel drive vehicles. This is because they are subjected to greater strains. |
| In order that the 4 tyres on the vehicle all have the same useful life, the wheels on the front axle should be fitted on the rear axle and vice versa. |
| The longer a tyre is driven in any position, the more it adapts to this position, therefore tyres should be interchanged at short intervals, for example every 5000 km. |
| For tyres with a specified direction of travel, make sure that the direction has not been changed. |
| Tyres can only be interchanged in diagonal pairs if there is no specified direction of travel. This interchange is particularly beneficial where saw-tooth wear is detected → Chapter. |
| If advanced saw-tooth wear is detected and tread wear is over 50%, only minor improvements can be obtained and it is therefore unnecessary to interchange the tyres. The elasticity of tread blocks is reduced and wear is not excessive. |
