Rotating tires

Is your brand new or slightly used Lincoln experiencing tire troubles on Winnipeg roads? Not sure how often you should rotate your tires? Experts agree that the optimal tire rotation interval is anywhere between 5,000 – 8,000 miles. Though this is a good ground rule, for exact figures on your Lincoln model and configuration, you should consult your owner’s manual. Still curious when to rotate tires? Find out how many miles to rotate tires with the service technicians at Capital Lincoln Winnipeg below!

When to Rotate Tires on RWD and FWD Lincolns

The designations of rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive simply mean where power from the engine is directed. For a rear-wheel drive car it is sent to the rear tires, while for a front-wheel drive car, it is sent to the front tires. This means the set of tires getting the majority of the engine power will wear out faster on Brandon roads than the others. Should you drive an FWD or RWD vehicle around the Portage la Prairie area, you’ll want to consider the following tire rotation tips:

  • For FWD or RWD cars, tire rotation needs to be performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Be sure to consult your owner’s manual for exact figures.
  • If you’re performing an FWD tire rotation yourself, keep in mind to flip sides when moving the rear tires. For example, the rear right tire will go on the front left. However, when moving the front tires to the back, keep them on the same side.
  • When rotating tires on an RWD car, invert the process above. Flip sides when moving the front tires to the back, but keep the rear tires on the same side when moving them forward.
  • Keep in mind how you drive, like off-roading, will affect how often you should rotate your tires. Talk with the service experts at Capital Lincoln Winnipeg to get a better idea of a maintenance schedule that fits your Dauphin driving habits.
