Tyre Rotation Recommendations - Mahindra 2014 Scorpio S6 Owner's Manual

WHEELS AND TYRES
changes to steering, handling and braking of your vehicle. This can cause
unpredictable handling, stress to steering and suspension components. You
could lose control of the vehicle or the tyre can unexpectedly fail, resulting in an
accident and/or personal injury.
Replacing original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.

12.5 Tyre Rotation Recommendations

Tyre rotation is recommended after every 10,000 km. for even tyre wear. However
the most appropriate timing for tyre rotation may vary according to your driving
habits and road surface condition. In case of alloy wheels, the spare steel rim must
be replaced with an alloy rim before replacement. Wheel balancing should be done
for all wheels before rotating.
Tyres on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and perform
different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequal rates and develop irregular wear patterns. Rotation will increase tread life,
help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth,
quiet ride. Follow the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.

Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow the recommended tyre rotation
frequency for your type of driving. More frequent rotation is permissible if desired.
The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation
being performed.

• Never use second hand tyres or re-moulded tyres
• At the time of replacement, Mahindra recommends all four tyres or at least
both front or rear tyres to be replaced at a time as a set
• When a tyre is replaced, the wheel should be always balanced
