Tire and Wheel Rotation and Inspection
TIRE AND WHEEL INSPECTION AND ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 8,000 - 13,000 km (5,000 - 8,000 mi). Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate the tires as soon as possible and test the
wheel alignment. Also inspect for damaged tires or wheels. Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire,
If it moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
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.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. Refer to Scheduled
Maintenance for scheduled rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.
^
Do not include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
^
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures.
^
Ensure that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
