Wheel rotation (Mitsubishi Galant 6)

1. Tire rotation should be performed regularly in accordance with the vehicle's routine maintenance schedule, and also when signs of uneven tread wear are detected. When rotating, the vehicle should be raised off the ground - take advantage of the opportunity to also check the condition of the brake system components (see Section Checking the condition/maintenance of disc brakes).

2. The authors of this Manual recommend rotating wheels equipped with radial tires in accordance with the proposed schemes. Most models are equipped with tires with a directional tread - directional tires are easily distinguished by the presence of an arrow on the sidewall indicating the correct direction of rotation of the wheel. The set should include two tires with a right-hand rotation direction and two with a left-hand rotation direction.







3. A detailed description of the wheel changing procedure is provided in Section Jacking and towing. Make sure that the vehicle is securely fixed in the raised position.

4. The best thing to do is to raise the entire car off the ground - under no circumstances should you use less than four supports to secure the car in a raised position!

5. After completing the rotation, check the tire inflation pressure and adjust it according to the regulatory requirements. Make sure that the wheels are securely fastened with nuts (ideally, the wheel bolts/nuts should be tightened with a torque wrench and rechecked after 40 km of driving).

6. More detailed information on wheels and tires is provided in Chapter Suspension and steering of this Guide.
