Rotate Your Tires

• 1). Raise up the vehicle's rear end and place a jack stand under the tire. Remove the tire using the lug wrench to remove the lug nuts. Lower the jack while keeping the axle elevated with the jack stand. This wheel will remain raised through the whole process.
  
  
• 2). Raise the front driver's side and replace that tire with the tire from the rear driver's side. Reattach the lug nuts and tighten. Lower that wheel to the ground and double check the lug nuts for tightness. Repeat this for the rear passenger's side, placing the old front driver's side tire onto the passenger rear. Repeat moving the old passenger's rear tire to the passenger front location. Move the old passenger's front tire to the driver's rear location, attach properly and remove the jack stand. Lower the whole vehicle back to the ground.
  
  
• 3). Identify the cause of the damaged rear tires. Consult a tire shop to identify what caused the damage and have it repaired immediately. The damage done to the old rear tires will slowly even out after being placed on the front, where no damage exists. If the damage to the old rear tires is extensive, you may have to replace them.
