Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 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 Is Time for New Tires on page 397
and Wheel Replacement on page 402 for more
information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely.
Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire.
If it moves, use the wheel wrench to tighten
the cable. For information on storing or removing
the spare tire, see
Changing a Flat Tire on
page 406 .
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 on page 450 .
When rotating your tires, always use the correct
rotation pattern shown here.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front
and rear inflation pressures as shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. See
Loading
Your Vehicle on page 296 , for an example of
the label and its location on your vehicle.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
sensors will need to be reset after a tire rotation.
See “TPMS Sensor Identification Codes” under
Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 391 .
