Tire Rotation

Tires should be rotated according to the
interval listed in the maintenance
schedule. See Maintenance Schedule
0 289.
Tires are rotated to achieve uniform
wear for all tires. The first rotation is
the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate
the tires as soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure, and check
for damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel alignment.
See When It Is Time for New Tires
0 269 and
Wheel Replacement 0 271.
Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern if the vehicle
has different size tires on the front
and rear.
Caution
Wheels will become scratched if not
handled properly. When laying a tire and
wheel assembly flat on the ground, place
it face up with a towel underneath it.
Move the assembly by rolling it on the
tires. Do not drag it.
Adjust the front and rear tires to the
recommended inflation pressure on the
Tire and Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See Tire
Pressure 0 262 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 176.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System.
See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
0 265.
Check that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See Wheel Nut Torque
under Capacities and Specifications
0 300.
Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause wheel nuts to become loose
over time. The wheel could come off
and cause a crash. When changing a
wheel, remove any rust or dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to
the vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or paper towel can be used; however,
use a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
