Tire Rotation Recommendations - Jeep 2005 Liberty Owner's Manual

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Tires 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.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off Road
type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to
a smooth, quiet ride.
STARTING AND OPERATING 275
2.4L/3.7L Engines
Follow the recommended tire rotation frequency for your
type of driving found in the "Maintenance Schedules"
Section of this manual. More frequent rotation is permis-
sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear
should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
2.8L Turbo Diesel Engines
Rotate the tires every 6,000 miles (10 000 km).
NOTE: The Premium Tire Pressure Monitor System will
automatically locate the pressure values displayed in the
correct vehicle position following a tire rotation.
