12.5 Tyre Rotation Recommendations

Type 1 - Applicable for all 5 Steel wheels
Tyres on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different
loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking
functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and
develop irregular wear patterns.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and
wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow
the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.
Type 2 – Applicable for 4 Alloy wheels and Spare wheel with Steel rim
It is recommended rotating the tyres as per the "Maintenance
Schedule".
12-6
The suggested rotation method is the "forward-cross" shown in the
diagram. The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off-road type tyres.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow, and
wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride. Follow
the recommended tyre rotation frequency for your type of driving.
More frequent rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for
any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation
being performed.
