Volvo XC70 Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval

1. Know that rotation is not required, since tire wear depends on inflation, temperature, driving style and other factors.
2. If you rotate, do the first rotation after approximately 3,000 miles (5,000 km).
3. After that, rotate at 6,000-mile (10,000-km) intervals.
4. Move tires only from front to rear or rear to front on the same side.
5. Never rotate tires left to right or right to left.

• Rotate only if front and rear tire wear is fairly even and tread height is above 1/16" (1.6 mm).
• Some customers find rotation helps get extra mileage from the tires.
