Turning on rim, also known as wheel rotation, involves systematically removing each tyre from the wheel and repositioning it to ensure even wear across the tread surface. This process is essential for mitigating sidewall damage, addressing irregular wear patterns, and managing shoulder wear, all of which can affect the safety and performance of your tyres.

Sidewall damage can occur due to various factors, including impacts with kerbs, potholes, or debris on the road. If left unaddressed, sidewall damage can weaken the structural integrity of the tyre, increasing the risk of blowouts and other safety hazards. Incorporating turning on rim into a tyre maintenance routine helps effectively redistribute the stress on the sidewalls, mitigating damage and prolonging the life of your tyres.

Irregular wear patterns, such as cupping, feathering, or scalloping, can also impact the performance and longevity of your tyres. These wear patterns often develop due to improper wheel alignment, suspension issues, or lack of tyre rotation. Our turning on rim service helps identify and address these irregular wear patterns by repositioning the tyres to ensure more uniform wear across the tread surface.

Shoulder wear, which refers to excessive wear on the outer edges or shoulders of the tyre, can result from factors such as aggressive driving, improper inflation, or lack of rotation. Turning on rim helps manage shoulder wear by evenly distributing the load on the tyre, reducing stress on the outer edges and extending the tyre’s life.
