Tyre Rotation - Cadillac CTS 2018 Owner's Manual

290 VEHICLE CARE

Tyre Rotation

If the vehicle has non-directional
tyres, they should be rotated at
the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Scheduled Maintenance 0 319.
Tyres are rotated to achieve a
uniform wear for all tyres. The
first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tyres as soon as
possible, check for proper tyre
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tyres or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment.
See When It Is Time for New Tyres
0 291 and Wheel Replacement
0 294.
Directional tyres should not be
rotated. Each tyre and wheel
should be used only in the
position it is in. Directional tyres
will have an arrow on the tyre
indicating the proper direction of
rotation or will have left or
right moulded on the sidewall.
Use this rotation pattern if the
vehicle has different size tyres on
the front and rear and they are
non-directional.
Different tyre sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating tyres of the same size
installed on all four wheel
positions.
If the vehicle has a compact spare
tyre, do not include it in the tyre
rotation.
Adjust the front and rear tyres to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tyre and Loading
Information label after the tyres
have been rotated.
See Tyre Pressure 0 283 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 184.
