Tire Rotation (Directional)
Tire Rotation (Directional)
Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to the Owners Manual for the proper maintenance schedule. In addition to
scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.
Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear
pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (See: Service
and Repair).
Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications (See:
Specifications). Then, set the tire pressure. Refer to Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft, and Service Parts ID Label (See: Application and
ID/Vehicle Certification, Tire Placard, Anti-Theft and Service Parts ID Label).
