A specialized pattern of tire movement on vehicles with four rear wheels on a single axle is required to ensure even wear. Due to the unique configuration of these vehicles, a standard rotation procedure is not applicable.
Implementing a suitable maintenance schedule extends tire lifespan, optimizes fuel efficiency, and maintains consistent handling characteristics. Neglecting this process can lead to premature replacement costs and potentially compromise vehicle safety. Historically, proper maintenance of this type of vehicle was often overlooked, leading to significant operational expenses for commercial fleets.
