Tire Rotation Recommendations; Tire Rotations Not Recommended; Tire Rotation For Directional Tires - Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

Caution!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other
suspension components, it is important
that only traction devices in good condition
are used. Broken devices can cause
serious damage. Stop the vehicle
immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before further
use.
Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on
dry pavement.
Observe the traction device
manufacturer's instructions on the method
of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device
manufacturer's if it is less than 30 mph
(48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a
compact spare tire.

Tire Rotation
Recommendations
Tires on the front and rear axles of
vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving, and
braking functions. For these reasons,
they wear at unequal rates. These
effects can be reduced by timely
rotation of tires. Rotation will increase
tread life, maintain traction levels and
contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
To resolve this problem, tires should be
rotated at each service interval
(approximately every 10,000 miles
[16,000km]). More frequent rotation is
permissible if desired. The reasons for
any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being
performed.

Tire Rotations Not Recommended

— If Equipped
Due to different size tires and wheels on
front and rear axles tire rotation is not
possible for:
2.0T GME Engine Equipped with a
225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear
tires.
Caution!
Damage to the vehicle may occur if
225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear tires
are rotated
Tire rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tires
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an
authorized dealer.
Tire Rotation for Directional Tires —
If Equipped
Directional tires are equipped on the
following:
2.0T GME Engine equipped with
same size tires and wheels on front and
rear axles
The rotational direction of the tire must
be taken into consideration when
rotating the tires. The recommended
rotation pattern for directional tires is
shown below.
