Vehicle Care 9-73
Tire Inspection
We recommend that you
regularly inspect your vehicle's
tires, including the spare tire,
if the vehicle has one, for signs
of wear or damage. See
When It
Is Time for New Tires on
page 9
‑ 74 for more information.
Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is not
recommended if the vehicle has
255/40R19 size tires on the front
wheels and 285/35R19 size tires
on the rear wheels.
Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear. Each tire
and wheel should only be used
in its original front or rear
position.
Tire rotation is recommended if
the vehicle has the same size
tires on all four wheel positions.
These tires should be rotated
every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km). See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 10
‑ 3 .
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
This will ensure that the vehicle
continues to perform most like it
did when the tires were new.
Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate the 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 9
‑ 74 and Wheel
Replacement on page 9 ‑ 80 .
Use the rotation pattern shown
here when rotating tires of the
same size installed on all four
wheel positions.
