Tires: Service and Repair
Tire and Wheel Rotation and Inspection
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. The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the
vehicle. The first rotation is the most important.
Non-Directional Tires
When rotating non-directional tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.
Directional Tires
If your vehicle has directional tires and must roll in a certain direction for the best overall performance. The direction is shown by an arrow on the tire
sidewall. Because these tires are directional, they should be rotated as shown here. These tires should only be moved from front to rear and rear to
front on the same side of the vehicle.
Don't 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.
CAUTION: Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after a time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an
emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust
or dirt off.
