Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with
a dissimilar spare tire and wheel
assembly. A dissimilar spare tire and
wheel assembly is defined as a spare tire
or wheel that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire
and wheel assembly, it is intended for
temporary use only and should not be
used in a tire rotation .
Note: After having your tires rotated,
inflation pressure must be checked and
adjusted to the vehicle requirements.
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

Tire Wear
When the tread is worn down to one
sixteenth of an inch (2 mm), tires must be
replaced to help prevent your vehicle from
skidding and hydroplaning. Built-in tread
wear indicators, or wear bars, which look
like narrow strips of smooth rubber
across the tread will appear on the tire
when the tread is worn down to one
sixteenth of an inch (2 millimeters).
When the tire tread wears down to the
same height as these wear bars, the tire is
worn out and must be replaced.
Damage
Periodically inspect the tire treads and
sidewalls for damage (such as bulges in
the tread or sidewalls, cracks in the tread
groove and separation in the tread or
sidewall). If damage is observed or
suspected have the tire inspected by a tire
professional. Tires can be damaged during
off-road use, so inspection after off-road
use is also recommended.
Age
Tires degrade over time depending on
many factors such as weather, storage
conditions, and conditions of use (load,
speed, inflation pressure) the tires
experience throughout their lives.
