Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km).

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 5-65and Wheel Replacement on page 5-69for more information.

Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire. If it moves,

use the wheel wrench to tighten the cable. See Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-72.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See Part A: Scheduled Maintenance Services on page 6-4, for scheduled rotation intervals.

When rotating your tires, always use one of the correct rotation patterns shown here.

If your vehicle has a compact spare tire or a spare tire that does not match your vehicle’s road tires and wheels, in size and type, do not include the spare in the tire rotation.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. For the location of the tire and loading information label see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-46. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened, see “Wheel Nut Torque” under Capacities and Specifications on page 5-102for the proper wheel nut torque specification.
