Professional Tyre Rotation

In addition to supplying premium tyres and wheels, Torque Tyres & Trailer Spares Cairns offers tyre fitting, tyre rotations and wheel alignments. We recommend customers book their vehicles in for a wheel alignment every 10,000kms, or every 6 months.


A tyre rotation involves removing the wheels from your vehicle and reinstalling them on different corners to prevent uneven tyre wear. It’s also a great opportunity to inspect each tyre for damage, punctures, sidewall scrapes and more.


To learn more or make a booking, call our team today on (07) 4230 0715.

Why Do You Need You Tyres Rotated?

Generally, the front tyres take care of all the steering and cornering forces, and a vast majority of the braking forces go through the front tyres, too. Over time, these forces cause the front tyres to wear faster than the rear tyres.


The situation is even more pronounced with front-wheel drive vehicles, where front wheels are also tasked with transmitting engine power to the ground, which is why front-wheel drive vehicles require more regular tyre rotations and tyre inspections.


If you drive a rear-wheel drive vehicle, you will typically have a more even wear pattern across tyres, but can benefit from a tyre rotation nonetheless, particularly if you have a powerful vehicle or frequently tow.

Wheel Alignments

We offer affordable wheel alignments. Wheel alignments are crucial for maintaining your vehicle's handling and tyre longevity. Proper alignment ensures that your tyres wear evenly, enhancing their lifespan and saving you money on replacements. It also improves your vehicle's stability and steering, providing a safer and more comfortable driving experience.


Regular wheel alignments can prevent unnecessary wear on other suspension components, ensuring your vehicle operates efficiently and smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should my tyres be rotated?

    For most applications, we recommend a tyre rotation every 10,000kms or so. If you’re rough on your tyres, more frequent rotations might be necessary.

  • Is a spare tyre included in a tyre rotation?

    Yes, if your spare tyre is matched to your other tyres. Many times, the spare tyre is either a space saver or a ‘temporary use’ style. These tyres are not included in a rotation.

  • Can I have a rotation if I have mismatched tyres?

    Yes, but since mismatched tyres should be kept on the same axle, your available tyre rotation strategy might not match your manufacturer's recommendations.

  • Why do I need a tyre rotation?

    Typically, front and rear tyres on vehicles wear out at different rates. Tyre rotation programmes promote even tyre wear.

  • How to rotate directional tyres?

    While tyre rotations with directional tyres can be done just by moving their front to rear and vice versa, we prefer to remove the tyres and flip them so that they end up on opposite corners of the vehicle to get the best tyre wear.
