Volvo XC40 Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval

Steps from the 2021 Volvo XC40 owner's manual.

  1. Move the front tires to the rear and the rear tires to the front.
  2. Do the first rotation at about 5000 km (ca 3100 miles).
  3. Repeat the rotation every 10,000 km (approx. 6200 miles) after that.
  4. Never move tires from the right side to the left or the reverse, only between front and back.
  5. If wear differs by more than 1 mm in tread depth, mount the least worn tires on the rear wheels.
