If your vehicle has dual rear
wheels and the tread design for
the front tires is different from
the dual rear tires, always use
the correct rotation pattern
shown here when rotating the
tires.
The dual tires are rotated as a
pair, and the inside rear tires
become the outside rear tires.
When you install dual wheels,
be sure the vent holes in the
inner and outer wheels on each
side are lined up.
After the tires have been
rotated, adjust the front and rear
inflation pressures as shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. See Tire Pressure on
page 10 61 and Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9 23 .
Make certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
Wheel Nut Torque under
Capacities and Specifications on
page 12 2 .
WARNING
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose

off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle. In
an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure

Lightly coat the center of the
wheel hub with wheel bearing
grease after a wheel change or
tire rotation to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get
grease on the flat wheel
mounting surface or on the
wheel nuts or bolts.
If your vehicle has a Tire
Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS), reset the TPMS
sensors after rotating the tires.
