Tire Inspection and Rotation
We recommend that you regularly inspect your
vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, for signs of
wear or damage. See
When It Is Time for New
Tires on page 6 ‑ 82 for more information.
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km). See
Scheduled Maintenance
on page 7 ‑ 3 .
The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will
ensure that your vehicle continues to perform
most like it did when the tires were new.
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 Is Time for New Tires on
page 6 ‑ 82 and Wheel Replacement on page 6 ‑ 87 .
If your vehicle has dual rear wheels, also see
Dual Tire Operation on page 6 ‑ 75 .
If your vehicle has single rear wheels and the
tread design for the front tires is the same as the
rear tires, use the rotation pattern shown here
when rotating the tires.
