Tire
Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
6,000
to
8,000
miles
(
10
000
to
1
3
000
km). 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’s Time for New Tires’’ and
“Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information.
The purpose
of
regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear
for
all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services”
in
the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
When rotating your tires, always
use
the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your
tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures
as
shown
on
the
Certificatioflire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after
a
time. The wheel could come
off
and cause
an accident. When you change
a
wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency,
you
can
use a cloth
or
a
paper towel to do this; but be
sure to use
a
scraper or wire brush later, if
you
need
to,
to get
all
the rust or dirt off. (See
“Changing
a
Flat Tire” in the Index.)
