TIRE ROTATION
Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the
types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To obtain the longest tire life you should
INSPECT AND ROTATE your tires regularly.
Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform a free tire inspection to look for
uneven or abnormal tire wear.
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. For the longest tire life, any time
irregular wear is seen have the tires checked, alignment checked, and tires rotated by
your truck or tire dealer. Have the cause of uneven wear corrected.
