Most tire manufacturers have changed their tire rotation policy on radial belted tires. Previously, radial belted tires were to be rotated only from front to rear and rear to front on the same side of the vehicle.
All radial belted tires approved for use on Audi vehicles can now also be rotated diagonally if unusual wear, such as feather-edging, is observed.
In cases of unusual tire wear, the suspension must be checked prior to tire rotation (i.e. alignment, condition of suspension components, tire balance).
