resulting damage and/or personal injury.
FIGURE 1
If tires are replaced, put the two (2) new tires on the front and move the front tires to the rear position. After 7,500 miles, tires should be rotated
following the modified "X" pattern. See Figure 1.
If the tires are not replaced, rotate the tires using the modified "X" pattern. This will tend to even out normal heel/toe tread wear.

Front Position Tire Wear on Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicles With All Season Tires
Some rear-wheel-drive vehicles may exhibit premature tire wear on the front tires. The wear usually starts on the outer tread row and may progress
across the full tread. This wear also usually appears as a heel and toe (high and low) wear pattern on individual tread blocks which can eventually lead to
tire noise and/or tire roughness.
Small amounts of heel/toe wear on the outer tread is considered normal. This wear is characteristic of new tires at full tread depth on free-rolling axles..
Turning and cornering exaggerates front tire wear. Routine tire rotation at 7,500 miles using the modified "X" method as shown in the Owner's Manual
