of this type of tire is indicated by arrows on the side wall
of the tire.

The required rotation method for directional tires is to
swap the front tire with the rear on the same side of the
vehicle. Do not cross switch tires without dismounting
the tires and re-mounting them in the correct rotational
direction.

Alignment And Balance

The suspension components of your vehicle should be
inspected and aligned when needed to obtain full tire
tread mileage.

Poor suspension alignment may result in:

• fast tire wear;
• uneven tire wear, such as feathering and one-sided

wear;

• vehicle pull to right or left.

Tires may also cause vehicle to pull to the left or right.
Alignment will not correct this condition. See your dealer
for proper diagnosis.

Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration.
Vehicle vibration may be a result of tire and wheel
out-of-balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration
and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.
