Tire Rotation Recommendations - Chrysler Grand Caravan 2022 Owner's Manual

290 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can cause
unpredictable handling. You could lose control
and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe
the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device clear-

ance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only traction
devices in good condition are used. Broken
devices can cause serious damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before further
use.
Install device as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Autosock traction devices do not require
retightening.
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and

large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry

pavement.
Observe the traction device manufacturer's

instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed of
the device manufacturer's if it is less than
30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact

spare tire.

IRE OTATION
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform different
steering, driving, and braking functions. For these
reasons, they wear at unequal rates.
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 all season type tires. Rotation will
increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow
and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.

CAUTION!

ECOMMENDATIONS
The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should
be corrected prior to rotation being performed
page 243.
Ú
The suggested rotation method is the "forward
cross" shown in the following diagram. This
rotation pattern does not apply to some directional
tires that must not be reversed.
