Tire Inspection and Rotation

We recommend that you regularly inspect your
vehicle’s tires, including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, for signs of wear or damage.
See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 5-68
for more information.

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.

The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will
ensure that your vehicle continues to perform most
like it did when the tires were new.

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate the 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 5-68 and Wheel
Replacement
on page 5-74.

When rotating the vehicle’s tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern shown here.

Do not include the compact spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, 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. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure
on page 5-61 and Loading the Vehicle on
page 4-20
.
