Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10
QOO. to 13 0.00
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. See "When It's Time for New Tires" and
"Wheel Replacement" later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation. is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the mast important. See "Scheduled
Maintenance Services" in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
If your vehicle has a compact spare tire, don't include
it
in your tire rotation.
After the tires have b e a rotated, adjust the front and rear
inflation. pressures as shown on the Certificatioflire
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are. properly
tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" in the Index.
