Should I rotate my tyres?

Is it recommended to rotate the tyres on a Skoda Octavia and if so at what intervals?

Asked on 8 January 2025 by DAVID JOHNSON

Answered by David Ross

Tyre manufacturers generally recommend rotating tyres every 5000 to 6000 miles. For a front-wheel-drive car such as yours, the recommend pattern is to move the front tyres to the rear on the same side, but to switch the rear tyres when moving them to the front.
