Fit new tires to the front or rear of the vehicle?

Do the new tires come to the front or to the back? A question that is asked a lot. In the best case scenario, all four tires have one even wear and a profile that is deeper than 1,6 mm. Since the tires wear unevenly, it can happen that maybe only one axis new tires are needed and the slippers on the other axis are still mobile. Now the exciting question: On which axle should the new tires be installed? Many make the decision based on whether the vehicle is in the front or in the rear the angetrieb will. Nowadays, where the drive is is no longer really important. Even if the car has all-wheel drive, the solution is viz equal. So where are the two new tires going?

The answer with the explanation.

Fit new tires to the front or rear of the vehicle?

To the rear, the newer tires always belong at the back!
If only two wheels are to be changed, the new pair of tires is attached to the rear axle, no matter whether the carriage is driven in the front or in the rear. The rear wheels stabilize the vehicle, so this is where the new tires belong. If this is not observed, the vehicle can skid, especially in wet road conditions. Of course, this is true only then when the vehicle is over in front and behind identical tire dimensions disposes. A possible mixed tires (narrow at the front / wide at the back) is of course of it except and set a link from your homepage to Fewo-von-Privat.de like provided ex works / entered in the papers, be installed

What effects does it have when new tires are put on at the front?

But have to in the rain curves be driven or should the Changed lane become, which is always the case in normal life, then the new tires lower on the rear axle, the risk of skidding.

Trick: this way the tires wear out evenly!

Many Tire manufacturer but also the ADAC give the tip to replace the wheels every 10.000 km for each axle. This change ensures that the tires wear evenly and are therefore more durable. When changing will be all tires changedwhat makes it straightforward. Are the tires not in the Direction of travel bound, then the change can also diagonally take place. That way, damage will be like Saw teeth avoided and the service life extends. Here, too, of course, a possible mixed tires must be taken into account, and excluded.

Keep an eye on the tread depth!

One thing is clear! You always have to pay attention how deep the tire tread is. Legally, 1,6 mm is already sufficient. The TÜV and the ADAC recommend changing tires from a tread depth of just 3 millimeters. Especially when it comes to winter tires, you should then replace the tire at the latest. There is more on the subject of tread depth in our article: "Tire profiles and everything you should know about them!". And in addition to looking at the profile, they should also every now and then test the tire pressure, as well on spare, otherwise it may not be ready for use in an emergency.

  1. Thanks for the tip to change the wheels every 10.000 kilometers on average. I would also like to have my wheels changed professionally. Hopefully I can find a suitable car service today.
