Tire Rotation

*

[SV26600( ALL)03/95]

Because your vehicle’s front and rear tires
perform different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly
and last longer, rotate them at the mileage
shown in the Maintenance Schedule and Record
booklet which came with your vehicle.

*

[SV26625( F )03/93]

For F-250 (over 8500 GVWR [3,855 kg]), F-350
and Super Duty vehicles, rotate the tires at 5,000
miles (8,000 km), then at 15,000 miles
(24,000 km), and then every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) thereafter.

*

[SV26660( EF )03/94]

If your light truck has dual rear wheels, you can
rotate the front tires side to side without
disturbing the rear tires.

*

[SV26700(BEF )07/92]

Rotate the tires according to the following
diagram. If you notice that the tires wear
unevenly, have them checked. If your light truck
has a temporary spare tire, do not include it in
the tire rotation pattern.

*

[SV26750(BEF )03/90]

In situations where the tires differ from front to
rear (snow/traction), simply rotate using a side
to side pattern.
