2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek Tires

Rotation timing can also be affected by tire wear and driving conditions. An inspection is useful when service history is unclear or wear appears uneven. Mike Shaw Subaru can measure all four tires and recommend the next step.

• Rotation follows the drivetrain and tires fitted.
• Uneven tread wear is a reason to request an inspection.
• The service includes a tire-pressure-monitoring-system reset.

The inspection compares the tires at every corner instead of considering one tire alone. A rotation or replacement recommendation is based on what the inspection finds. Schedule service when you notice uneven wear, highway-speed vibration, or a tread-wear indicator level with the tread.

• All four tire tread depths are measured.
• The tires are moved according to the applicable rotation pattern.
• Pressure and monitoring-system status are addressed afterward.

The manufacturer-specified pattern applies to the vehicle and its actual tire configuration. Directional tread changes how a tire can move, and staggered fitments can also change the appropriate pattern. The tires should be inspected before rotation so the service follows their design and current wear.

• All-wheel drive makes balanced tread wear important.
• Directional tread can limit how tires are moved.
• Staggered fitments can affect the applicable rotation pattern.

The correct recommendation depends on an inspection of the tires actually fitted and their remaining tread. All four do not automatically require replacement in every situation, but an all-wheel-drive vehicle is less tolerant of a mismatched set than a two-wheel-drive vehicle. A technician can measure and compare the tires before advising on replacement.

• Tread depth should be compared across all four corners.
• A mismatched set can make the all-wheel-drive system work against itself.
• Replacement advice should follow the tire inspection.

A failed penny test is another checkable warning sign, but an inspection provides a complete view of all four tires. Because this Subaru uses all-wheel drive, comparison between tires matters as much as the condition of one tire. Book service for tread measurement and a recommendation based on what is found.

• Look for uneven wear across the tire set.
• Check whether a moulded tread-wear indicator is level with the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration that appears at highway speed.

The service visit includes measuring tread depth on all four tires and recommending a rotation or replacement based on the inspection. Mike Shaw Subaru is located at 1650 W 104th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80234. You can also review current service specials before arranging your visit.
