CAUTION!

Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are
used.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at

different loads and perform different steering, driving,

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.

The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with

aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type

tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain

mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a

smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper mainte-

nance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear

should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.

The suggested rotation method is the “forward cross”

shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does

not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.
