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 5-69 and Wheel
Replacement
on page 5-72 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 Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services
on page 6-4 for scheduled
rotation intervals.

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

Tires should only be moved from front to rear and
rear to front on the same side of the vehicle.

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