FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
The purpose of regularly rotating tire is to prolong their useful tire life by achieving more uniform
wear for all tires on the recreation vehicle. Before rotating tires, check the chassis owner’s
manual for rotation recommendations for specific vehicles. If no rotation period is specified, speak
with a qualified service technician or the tire manufacturer.
NOTE: Some kinds of tires cannot be rotated in the manners described below. Such tires include
uni-directional tires and tires with asymmetric tread designs. Also, some vehicles may have
different-sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles, and these different-sized tires have
rotation restrictions. Check the chassis manual, or with a tire dealer, for the proper rotation
recommendations for these special cases.
When tires are rotated, the inflation pressures must be adjusted for the tire’s new positions in
accordance with the actual loads on that wheel position. Underinflated or overinflated tires may
result in poor handling, uneven treadwear and increased fuel consumption.
NOTE: Lugnuts should be properly torqued anytime a tire/wheel/rim assembly is reinstalled on the
recreation vehicle. Refer to the chassis owner’s manual for detailed information regarding wheel
nut torques.
