Rotate, remove or retread a tyre

You will have the tyre on its new position after a rotation, or back In Store after removal, with the vehicle profile and the asset record both showing where it is.

Every move of a tyre is a change on its asset record. A rotation is a removal from one slot and a fitting to another, often on the same vehicle. A removal for wear, damage or retreading takes the tyre off and returns it to In Store. Keeping these moves current is what makes the kilometres per tyre and the cost per vehicle believable.

Before You Start

  • The tyre shows Status Installed on the vehicle under Vehicles › Tyre/Asset Tracking.
  • You have the vehicle’s odometer reading today.
  • For a rotation, the slot the tyre is moving to is free, or you are swapping two tyres and will move both.

Steps

  1. Open the vehicle profile and its Tyre/Asset Tracking tab. The layout diagram shows which tyre is on which position.
  2. Select the tyre that is coming off and choose the remove action.
  3. Enter the odometer reading at removal and, where the form offers one, the reason. Reasons such as worn, damaged, rotation or repair may be available on your plan.
  4. Confirm the removal. Status becomes In Store and the slot is freed.
  5. For a rotation, fit the same tyre to its new slot straight away. Pick the vehicle and the new position, enter the same odometer reading and confirm; Status returns to Installed.
  6. For a swap, repeat removal and fitting for the second tyre.
  7. For retreading, leave the tyre In Store and note the retreader in the asset’s notes. When it returns, update the Cost if the retread was charged to this tyre and fit it again as a normal fitting.
  8. Check the vehicle’s Tyre/Asset Tracking tab shows every slot with the right tyre.

What This Changes

  • The asset row shows Status In Store and no Vehicle after a removal; Installed on the new vehicle and position after a rotation.
  • The vehicle profile’s Tyre/Asset Tracking tab updates its diagram.
  • First Fitted does not change on a rotation or refitting; it keeps the date the tyre first went on the road.
  • A retread cost added to the asset raises its lifetime cost; the payment posts by the Payment Type chosen.

Tips

  • Do rotations in the app on the same day as in the workshop; a tyre recorded on the wrong wheel for a month spoils the position history.
  • Scrapped tyres: remove them and mark them inactive or note the disposal, rather than deleting, so their cost stays in the history.
  • Keep a short list of removal reasons under Dropdown Values if your plan allows it, so reports can group by reason.
