When to Check
Check your tires
once a
month or more.
Don't forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi (420 kPa).
How to Check
Use
a
good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can't tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by lookrng at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they're underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 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
most
important. See "Scheduled
Maintenance Services" in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
