When
to
Check
Check your tires once a month
or
more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60
psi
(420
kPa).
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.
How
to
Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage
to
check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be
sure to put the valve caps back
on
the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out
dirt
and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
6,000
to
8,000
miles
(
10
000
to
13
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.
When rotating
your
tires, always use the correct rotation
pattern shown here.
Don’t include the compact
spare
tire
in
your tire rotation.
