Tire Rotation

To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires

every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or sooner

if irregular wear develops. During

rotation, inspect them for correct balance.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and

damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused

by one or a combination of the following:

•

Incorrect tire pressure

•

Improper wheel alignment

•

Out-of-balance wheel

•

Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to

specification (page 10-5) and inspect the

lug nuts for tightness.

NOTE

•

Warm tires normally exceed

recommended pressures. Don’t

release air from warm tires to adjust

the pressure.

•

Underinflation can cause reduced

fuel economy and poor sealing of

the tire bead, which will deform the

wheel and cause separation of tire

from rim.

•

Overinflation can produce a harsh

ride and a greater possibility of

damage from road hazards.

Keep your tire pressure at the

correct levels. If one frequently

needs inflating, have it inspected.

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial

tires that have an asymmetrical tread

pattern or studs only from front to rear,

not from side to side. Tire performance

will be weakened if rotated from side

to side.

Front

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)

spare tire in rotation.
