Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your 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 5-55 and Wheel Replacement
on page 5-60 for more information.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.

When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.

Do not include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label.

Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” under Capacities and
Specifications
on page 5-88.
