Tires

To help increase tire life and

distribute wear more evenly, you

should have the tires rotated every

7,500 miles (12,000 km). Move the

tires to the positions shown in the

chart each time they are rotated.

When shopping for replacement

tires, you may find that some tires

are "directional." This means they

are designed to rotate only in one

direction. If you use directional tires,

they should be rotated only front-to-

back.

Replacing Tires and Wheels

The tires that came with your car

were selected to match the perform-

ance capabilities of the car while

providing the best combination of

handling, ride comfort, and long life.

You should replace them with radial

tires of the same size, load range,

speed rating, and maximum cold tire

pressure rating (as shown on the

tire's sidewall). Mixing radial and

bias-ply tires on your car can reduce

its braking ability, traction, and

steering accuracy.
