I'm try'n to take the best care i can for my tires, since they're the first actual set that i've dropped good coin on. And i'm sure mr dealer told me to rotate them every oil change or whatever.

Question is...in rotating tires....you don't have to remove the tire from the rim do ya? meaning-i can do this myself, and don't need a shop!?!

 

Don't have stands, but see you can pick em up at part source or ukranian wheel for like 30 bones for 2. Got a floor jack that's never been outta it's box...cause since i got this jeep i haven't had any problems lol. But no floor jacks, and really no where to put them - so i dunno if i should do it or not. Guess it'll still be cheaper to pay $30 once rather than however much a shop is gonna charge me to rotate the tires over n over.

 

Rotate them every oil change or 2 if you can, never can hurt. I rotate mine often just because I have access to a hoist and it can't hurt.

I'd rotate mine, but the there bald up front and I did that once with the old car and yeah Sunfire/Cavaliers aren't that good in the snow with bald back tires, but it can sure teach control damn quick when you get into a slide.

 

what exactly does rotating tires do? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

equalizes wear. it's even better if you have a full size spare. You can out the wear onto 5 tires instead of 4. A full size spare is really a must have in this country.

 

Has anyone found when rotating the tires you get abit of a "woble" feel like the tires aren't balanced? I had that with the Sunfire but once I reached about 80 it was good around 100 shook abit, then around 140 no "wobling" shuttering feel.. yet if I put the tires back to the original spots all was fine again.

 

my car always shakes when i get over 100. so i really wouldnt notice a differance. as soon is i hit about 120 its hard to hold onto the wheel, kinda like riding a roller coaster or something.
