How To Rotate Tires Properly

[tenthletter117]

yay now i know!

[hhhhhhhhhhhhh4927]

Huh? Loosen the lug nuts with a torque wrench?!?

[iShuffleLA]

they forgot to add that you have to cross em when switching them to the front wheels unless they're directional .

[maxp8ntballer]

arent you supposed to cross the back ones as you bring them to the front?

[mickblock]

@maxp8ntballer That's true, but the most important reason for tire rotation is taken care of by exchanging front for the back. The crossover exchange is to address uneven wear due to potential misalignment. If you do this method without a hoist, you would take the added step of exchanging the front tires by supporting the front and then exchanging the back tires by supporting the back of the vehicle after doing the one side at a time steps explained in the video. Also consider Maginel73's point.

I always thought you were supposed to cross over the tires that came off the rear of the car? So the rear right would go to the front left and the rear left would go to the front right..

[UbayLanas]

This will be helpful to everyone who do not have a clue to rotate the tire. However, you did not criss-cross (left goes to right and left vice versa) when you put the rear wheel to the front as the dealer's manual written instruction.

Eh I dont trust mexicans on cars or construction. thumbs down

[MustangFan424]

You never EVER break things loose with a torque wrench. A torque wrench is designed to torque in one direction not break things loose.

@afghanmanyeah I love you!! :D

20 seconds in, a warning I've ignored more times than I can count

[carven2004eca]

Will 3% really make a noticable difference? I don't even think that would save you a buck.

[suissmove]

u forget about balancing !!! The front tires must also respond to steering commands by altering the car's momentum in one direction or another. The result of all this friction is a gradual loss of tread.

i hate cars

[iluvfatchx]

this is for only rear wheel tires like mustangs, FWD like hondas and saturns u criss cross

[metal86ms]

@iluvfatchx you criss cross on front wheel drive cars only when the tires are not directional tires... if they are directional tires, like this mustang probably has, then you cant criss cross cuz your treads will be rotating in the wrong direction so for directional tires, regardless of FWD or RWD... its fronts to back and backs to front.

[TheDragonHelix]

Nice vid, I just did a tire rotation vid on my FWD civic, check my channel!

[iluvfatchx]

@TheDragonHelix this is for rear wheel tires, u need to criss cross yours if its front wheel drive

[TylerDrew3000]

It's wrong!!!

[ppham444]

I see a lot of Mexicans drive Mustangs. Why?

[iluvfatchx]

@ppham444 cause we have money from being drug dealers thats why

[sicosico]

@ppham444 Will the car is cheap used, also this might not be his car and the guy in the video sounds American to me regardless of ethnicity, any more questions

[justmks]

Loosen the nuts with a torque wrench?!? You've got to be kidding me. If the nuts were previously overtightened you may end up busting the wrench, and why use it more than necessary, it's a precision calibrated instrument, use a regular wrench instead.

[AMMstudios]

You HAVE to be a dumb ass to not know how to do this... just saying

[xelementassassin]

@AMMstudios haha i agree. most of the things people take cars to shops for are home doable. people are either dumbasses like you say or just plain out lazy.

How To Rotate Poop Properly

[Tressco]

Classic.

Never had that before...?

[poeticromance]

this is the wrong way to do it....

[xelementassassin]

@poeticromance it is, lol. you're supposed to criss cross them, put the front right on the rear left, and the left front on the rear right, etc.

[iluvfatchx]

@xelementassassin only if its a front wheel drive car

[xelementassassin]

@iluvfatchx well yea, most cars are front wheel drive nowadays

[iTzKACE]

yea im a noob, why do you have to do this?

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

ATARI LOGO ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR AT 0:08

[TheCliffordCult]

This music was used in another Howcast vid, "How to Join the Circus." Unlike how it was used in that vid, the music doesn't sound right for this vid.

However, when the song was really sped up at the ending, it sounded like Mexican mariachi music, and seeing as the people in the vid were Latino, I wonder if that was intentional. *_*

[PlaneVFootball]

Wft ! your also soppose to include your spare tire !

[Adipatus]

Thanks

[Maginel73]

Just one thing to add. Re-torque the lug nuts after having driven 100 km or about 62 miles.

[btopishere]

You will need: to step on the pedal.

[STalKerXHACK]

Affordable faggot car is extremely affordable

[miritkenny]

Call OnStar and they will pick you up! Easy isn't!
