Hi all, I just bought a 2012 tx 2.7, the rear tires shows slightly more wear than front tires, as far as I know this car is AWD with a center differential unlocked most time, I want to do a tire rotation but I dont know If turning fronts to rear is correct as usually?

Thanks Bendman, then, If I understand well, fronts wear faster?

Sorry forgot to add I do the change every 5000km. I reckon leaving them for now is the go and starting your km count and schedule now.

I do the same and are getting good wear.

Does rotating all five tyres cause any issues with one tyre being larger than the other on the opposing site?

In a perfect world you want the same size but the difference in overall size would be what 10mm. If you live in ACT etc and use roundabout's a lot then outside tyre will travel more...Do people worry about that? No but that's just my opinion. Seek advice from a mechanic that services axles, not a tyre shop as they will try and sell you 4 new tyres. Just make sure the spare tyre is not more than 5 years old or been in the sun too much as you may have a tyre failure. Check for cracks in the sidewall and on top of the tyre, check for bulging and UV damage.
