vehicle.

Tyre rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is recom -
mended that the tyres be rotated
every 10,000 km (6,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tyre pressure, improper wheel
alignment, outof-balance wheels,
severe braking or severe cornering.
Look for bumps or bulges in the
tread or side of tyre. Replace the
tyre if you find either of these con -
ditions. Replace the tyre if fabric or
cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tyre
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page
9-8.
