Tire Rotation - Buick 2016 Verano Owner's Manual

The tread or sidewall is
cracked, cut, or snagged
deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
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 0 305.
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more 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 0 276 and Wheel
Replacement 0 280.
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 0 269 and Vehicle
Load Limits 0 182.
Vehicle Care
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0 271.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See Wheel
Nut Torque under Capacities
and Specifications 0 318.
Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, a cloth or a paper
towel can be used; however, use
a scraper or wire brush later to
remove all rust or dirt.
Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire rotation to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get
