when should I rotate the tires on my Volkswagen Golf MK7.5 (2020-Present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and materials.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged.

2. Lift the Vehicle

• Use a jack to lift the vehicle at the designated lifting points.
• Secure the vehicle with jack stands for safety.

3. Remove Tires

• Use a lug wrench to loosen and remove the lug nuts from each wheel.
• Carefully remove each tire from the wheel hub.

4. Rotate Tires

• Follow the recommended rotation pattern (e.g., front-to-back, or crisscross pattern depending on tread direction).
• Place the front tires at the rear and vice versa, or cross if indicated.

5. Reinstall Tires

• Place each tire onto the wheel hub, ensuring it is seated properly.
• Hand-tighten the lug nuts before lowering the vehicle.

6. Lower the Vehicle

• Carefully remove jack stands and lower the vehicle using the jack.

7. Tighten Lug Nuts

• Once the vehicle is on the ground, use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specified torque (usually around 90-100 ft-lbs for the Golf MK7.5).
