Tyre Rotation
Tyres on the front and rear axles of
vehicles operate at different loads and
perform different steering, handling, and
braking functions. For these reasons,
they wear at unequal rates and develop
irregular wear patterns.
Rotation will increase tread life, help to
maintain mud, snow, and wet traction
levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride. Follow the recommen ded tyre
rotation.
It is recommended to rotate the tyres as
per the Maintenance Schedule.
Recommended Tyre Rotation Method:
1. Spare wheel should go to Rear Left
wheel.
2. Rear Left wheel should go to Front
Right.
3. Rear Right wheel should go to Front
Left.
4. Front Right wheel should go to Rear
Right.
5. Front Left wheel should go to Spare
wheel.
Worn out Tyre
Because your vehicle's tyres may wear
unevenly, you may need to replace them
before a wear band appears across the
entire tread. Some spots wear more
heavily than others.
