In front-wheel-drive vehicles like the Honda City, the front tires often wear out faster than the rear ones due to the extra weight and power being applied to the front wheels. The front tires are responsible for both steering and propelling the car, so they experience more stress and friction. Additionally, during sharp turns, the front tires tend to take on more load. Tire rotation is essential to extend the life of the tires and ensure even wear. In Pakistan, where driving habits and road conditions can be tough on tires, rotating the tires every 10,000 to 12,000 km can help maintain balanced wear and prolong tire life.
