Do the tire rotation myself. - Toyota Yaris Forums

I am just wondering if i can do the tire rotation myself? (Just put front tires to the back and put the back to front)

Do I have to do the balance after tire rotation?

Thanks!!

well a balance would be done at a dealer and with basic tools you could certainly do the rotation. after the rotate...there may be a slight balance issue but its up to you if your wanting to pay for that service work to be done. i usually balance wheels between 10-15k

just had my wheels rotated at discount tire (which is where i bought my tires.) i have free rotations for the life of the tires. took 30 minutes tops from the time i pulled into the parking to the time i was driving out of the parking lot.

I personally rotate (myself) every 5K and have the local Wally World Auto Center balance every 10K. The guys that work there are pretty sharp (no-shit) and even hand torque everything to my specs.

Yeah, balance only needs to be done every other time, maybe every 3rd time. Rotating is a piece of cake.

Okay, Thank you guys!

I will do the rotation myself tomorrow. Do I need to have cross rotation like X for Yaris?
