Tires: Service and Repair
Tire Rotation

Tire Rotation

Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to Maintenance Schedule (North American Emissions). 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.

Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then, set the tire pressure.
