2017 Subaru Crosstrek Tires in Thornton, CO

The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for inspecting and rotating the wheels and tires every 6,000 miles. Regular inspections help identify uneven wear before it becomes more pronounced. All-wheel drive also makes consistent tread condition across the set important.

• Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
• Have all four tires inspected for even wear.
• Book service sooner if vibration or unusual wear appears.

The rotation follows the pattern the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. A technician can also identify visible uneven wear or a tread-depth indicator that has reached the tread. Any replacement recommendation is based on the condition found during the inspection.

• Tread depth measurement on all four tires.
• Rotation in the manufacturer-specified drivetrain pattern.
• Pressure adjustment and monitoring-system reset.

The manufacturer-specified pattern should be used for the vehicle and tire configuration being serviced. Directional tread can limit where a tire may move, while staggered fitments can change the appropriate rotation options. An inspection of the tires actually fitted determines the correct procedure.

• All-wheel drive makes balanced tread wear important.
• Directional tread can restrict tire movement.
• Staggered fitments can change the rotation approach.

Replacing only one or two tires can create a tread-depth mismatch that loads the driveline. The correct decision depends on the inspection, the condition of the remaining tires, and the vehicle’s service history. A tire service appointment can compare the set and explain whether rotation or replacement is appropriate.

• Compare tread depth across all four tires.
• Consider the condition and service history of the set.
• Use an inspection to guide replacement decisions.

Uneven tread wear and vibration at highway speed are also reasons to arrange an inspection. The tread-depth indicator moulded into the tire provides a visible wear reference, while a penny test can help identify worn tread. The final recommendation depends on what is found on the tires actually fitted.

• Look for uneven wear across the set.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
• Arrange an inspection after a failed penny test.

Booking provides tread-depth measurement on all four tires and a rotation or replacement recommendation based on the inspection. The service team can perform the manufacturer-specified rotation, set pressure to the vehicle placard, and reset the monitoring system. Review the dealership’s service specials before your visit.
