22 - 44 TIRES/WHEELS - SERVICE INFORMATION
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
WARNING: DO NOT ROTATE TIRES IN A FRONT TO BACK FASHION. THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ARE
DIFFERENT SIZES AND WILL CAUSE VEHICLE MALFUNCTION.
The only method of tire rotation is from the rear right side to rear left side and from the front right side to
the front left side.
Tires on the front and rear of the vehicle operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and brak-
ing functions. For these reasons they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear patterns. These
effects can be reduced by rotating the tires at regular intervals. The benefits of tire rotation are:
• Increase tread life
• Maintain traction levels
• A smooth, quiet ride
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE AND WHEEL INSTALLATION
The wheel bolts are designed for specific applications. They must be replaced with equivalent parts. Do not use
replacement parts of lesser quality or a substitute design.
Before installing the wheel, be sure to remove any build up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surfaces. Ensure
wheels are installed with good metal-to-metal contact. Improper installation could cause loosening of wheel bolts.
This could affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
