5 tyre rotation

5 wheel rotation. Most important check the spare wheel cover nut for over tightening.

Had 2 services where dealer did not do it and had messed up the whole rotation pattern. So next set will be marked in a different manner to ensure that no one can mess up the pattern.

Got told in one conversation that they checked the tyre with most tread and put it in the front as the rotation pattern does not make much sense.

Yes this is what they did to me.Twisted the lock nut when tightening and it snapped when I was trying to unscrew.The locknut is made from soft metal unlike others .I always take it off before service as bolts and nuts are not covered by warranty!!??

Hey Ritchie, good point. I checked mine after recent tyre rotation and they lock nut on the spare was tight as buggery. Probably done with rattle gun.

I'll be taking my lock nut off next rotation.
