Having just got an EV and read the manual, it says the tyres need rotating after a set period of time. will this be picked by the dealer, like when a service is due, or should i do nothing, or see if this is something motability allow, as per manual. dont recall the need for this on our last EV.
Is it a definite ‘the tyres must be rotated at xxxx miles/xx time?
Or is it a case of ‘It is recommended that the tyres are rotated every xxxx miles/xx time’?
If the former, refer to your dealer/Motability as there is the potential of either a safety issue or a warranty issue further down the line, should it cause a problem. For example, on my Grenadier it is a ‘must’ as it can affect the 4WD, traction control and differential systems.
If the latter, don’t worry about it. It is usually just to even out tyre wear. You can ask if the dealership may do it at its next service, but whether or not they do it is a moot point. If the vehicle is on the scheme, tyre replacement is included, so the issue of balancing out wear isn’t really an issue.
