Volvo XC90 Twin Engine Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval
Steps from the 2018 Volvo XC90 Twin Engine owner's manual.
- Rotation is not required, but it helps keep tread depth and wear patterns even.
- Move the front tires to the rear and the rear tires to the front.
- Do the first rotation after approximately 5000 km (ca 3100 miles).
- Repeat at 10,000 km (approx. 6200 miles) intervals.
- Never move tires from right to left or vice versa, only between front and back.
- If wear differs by more than 1 mm, mount the least worn tires on the rear wheels.
- Tires with an arrow on the sidewall must keep the same direction of rotation throughout their service life.
- Use tires of the same type, dimensions and make on each axle.
