Tire Maintenance

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear

abnormally. Here are some important maintenance points:

Tire Inflation Pressure

Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires

are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top han-

dling, and minimum tire wear. Use the pressures specified on the

vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.

Tire Rotation

To equalize tire wear and extend

tire life, Toyota recommends that

tire rotation is carried out at the

same interval as tire inspection.

Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-

ally caused by one or a combination of the following:

● Incorrect tire pressure

● Improper wheel alignment

● Out-of-balance wheel

● Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (P. 596) and

inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical

tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire

performance will be weakened if rotated from side to side.
