Ford Transit Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval
Steps from the 2026 Ford Transit owner's manual (Rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles, and dual rear wheel vehicles).
- Follow the tire rotation diagram in the manual for the correct tire locations.
- For dual rear wheel vehicles, rotate the front and rear tires in pairs, side to side only.
- Do not split up the dual rear wheels; rotate them side to side as a set.
- Afterward, check and adjust inflation pressures for the tires' new positions.
- Perform the tire pressure monitoring system reset procedure after rotating.
- Rotate tires every 5000 miles (8000 km), and inspect for wear and measure tread depth.
- A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly is temporary use only and should not be used in rotation.
- If tires show uneven wear, have the alignment checked by an authorized dealer before rotating.
