5k wheel rotation

[Phang]

Staggered + unidirectional = simple left/right swapping

Staggered + directional + symmetrical = slightly more work but left/right swapping still possible

Staggered + directional + asymmetrical = all four wheel lock in position, can save tire rotation money and time.

I know some thrifty mar see lee owners doing this

[twisti]

C&C entertains all paying customers. Hahaha…

i want to pay but they dun want to entertain me leh ... i change my rims too

[Joshua]

Thanks for the advice

I am on staggered setup as well. Did my tire rotation where they swapped the front left with front right and rear left with rear right.

Did you rotate them every 5k? Wonder what is the implication if we rotate every 10k?

Only did the first 5K. Subsequently should be 15K intervals? Don't know...

Hi friends! I hit my 5k last week and did the tire rotation. It's just a drive in thingy, no appointment needed.

At the same time, they pumped the tires with some special air that's supposed to increase the life of your tire for free. And if I am not mistaken, as long as you do this during your initial 5k rotation, all subsequent special air pumping at 5k rotations are free ... Something to that effect anyway ...

In any case, if free why not make use la ... Hahahaha ...

[Kismet]

Oh ya, the air thingy was free with a voucher/coupon thingy C&C put together with your Merc user manual stuff when you get your car.

Also, if you complete the survey that was in the same manual thingy, and send it to them, they send you a Merc keychain. It's worth $16 at their store ...

But ... I think they only put the survey in random cars cos my dad didn't get the survey form when he collected his new car 2 weeks after I collected mine ...

special air should be nitrogen, rite? supposed to have lower rate of leakage, among the benefits...

my ride just hit 3.9K, after 4 months of driving, so still have not gone for this rotation yet!

Actually nitrogen gas for tyres has not much real benefits, and is not worth the extra money. Of course if CnC gives free top up then why not.

Dont forget, normal atmospheric air is already made up of 78% nitrogen....

No la, I only checked with my best friend, google

[nocappucino]

i wonder if they are using 100% nitrogen? cos i wonder if there's effect too especially if they dun empty the old air (normal air) out of the tire before pumping in nitrogen gas?

[babywaffle]

My previous ride was nitrogen and tyre perform very well.

On stock rim when doing the 5k rotation.?

On stock rim when doing the 5k rotation.?

I did my 5k rotation with aftermarket rims, no question asked and they filled it with nitrogen. Costs about $30, cant rmb...

Also, they stick this small square sticker with the letter 'N' near the valve cap on all fours, I think its to indicate nitrogen.... But it began peeling after a while, and turned fugly. End up I have to remove the stickers. So rmb to tell the tyre guys not to stick the stickers

[Kismet]

Stock rim?

Yep, stock rims. I will probably only (maybe) change to (probably) black rims when I change tires ... It looks alright except for the brake-dust problem!!!

Yup, its nitrogen!

I just realised ... I only collected my car at the end of May ... I hit 5k in less than 2 months ...

Dun talk so much lah! When you wanna change rims?

[Seaclass]

U sure rotation also free? Read e voucher carefully again.

Don't know if they will still top up nitro gas after change aftermarket rims.

[johnphua]

Don't worry, you're not the highest. I got my ride on 5th of may, now hit 8k........
