Tire Inspection And Rotation - Chevrolet 2007 Silverado 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual

Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 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 Is Time for New Tires on page 555 and Wheel
Replacement on page 560 for more information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push,
pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire. If it
moves, use the wheel wrench/hoist shaft to tighten
the cable. See Changing a Flat Tire on page 564.
If your vehicle has dual rear wheels, also see
Dual Tire Operation on page 552.
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 (Gasoline Engine) on page 615.
If your vehicle has single rear wheels and the tread
design for your front tires is the same as your rear
tires, use the rotation pattern shown here when
rotating your tires.
