unusual wear is present, 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

rotation intervals.

After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and

rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading

Information label. Make certain that all wheel nuts

are properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in

the Index.

CAUTION:

Rust or dirt on

wheel, or on the parts to which

it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose

after

time. The wheel could come

off

and cause

an accident. When you change

wheel, remove

any rust or dirt from places where the wheel

attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can

use

cloth or

paper towel to

this; but be

sure to use

scraper or wire brush later,

you

need to, to get all the rust or dirt

off.
