Tire Rotation - Cadillac CTS 2011 Owner's Manual

The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot
be repaired well because of
the size or location of the
damage.

Tire Rotation

Tire rotation is not
recommended if the vehicle has
P235/50R18, 245/45ZR19 or
255/40R19 size tires on the
front wheels and P265/45R18,
275/40ZR19 or 285/35R19 size
tires on the rear wheels.
Different tire sizes should not
be rotated front to rear. Each
tire and wheel should only be
used in its original front or rear
position.
Tire rotation is recommended if
the vehicle has the same size
tires on all four wheel positions.
These tires should be rotated
every 12 000 km (7,500 miles).
See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11 2.
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
This will ensure that the vehicle
continues to perform most like it
did when the tires were new.
Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the 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 10 80 and Wheel
Replacement on page 10 85.

vehicle has one, is not included
in the tire rotation.
