Tire Rotation - Chevrolet 2013 Malibu Owner's Manual

10-54 Vehicle Care
The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
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

Tires should be rotated
every 12 000 km (7,500 mi).
See Maintenance Schedule on
page 11 3.
Tires are rotated to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Any time unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible and check
the wheel alignment. Also check
for damaged tires or wheels.
See When It Is Time for New
Tires on page 10 55 and Wheel
Replacement on page 10 60.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires.
Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire rotation.
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 on
page 10 46 and Vehicle
Load Limits on page 9 10.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation on
page 10 50.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See Wheel
Nut Torque under Capacities
and Specifications on
page 12 2.
