Tire Inspection And Rotation - Chevrolet 2010 Tahoe Owner's Manual

Tire Inspection and Rotation

We recommend that you regularly inspect your
vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, for signs of
wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New
Tires on page 6 79 for more information.
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 7 3 .
The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will
ensure that your vehicle continues to perform
most like it did when the tires were new.
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your
tires as soon as possible and check wheel
alignment. Also check for damaged tires or
wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires on
page 6 79 and Wheel Replacement on page 6 84 .

correct rotation pattern shown here.
Do not include the spare tire in the tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label. See Inflation - Tire
Pressure on page 6 72 and Loading the Vehicle on
page 5 33 .
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System. See Tire
Pressure Monitor Operation on page 6 74 .
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly
tightened. See Wheel Nut Torque under
