Tire Rotation

[Rodgman]

Recently bought a CPO 17 QX70 Limited with 15,000 miles. Just hit 20,000 and ready for my first tire rotation. In looking at the tires the rear have a lot more wear. Wondering if the original owner never rotated and can’t remember from my old FX is the rears wore faster.

Anyone with suggestions/feedback. Typically fronts wear more and don’t want to rotate the more worn to the front if true.

I try to time my oil changes with my tire rotations if possible.

Luckily for me that means ~5k for winter treads and ~5k for summers as I only do about 10-12k miles per year.

They get rotated after each swap out.

On the FX, the rear will always wear faster. It's a RWD based car (even the AWD version is RWD biased). If you've had previous cars where the front wore faster it's because those were FWD platforms.

What I figured and remembered. Time for a rotation! Appreciate the feedback.

That's why you rotate, so they can wear evenly.
