Tire Rotation

Front and rear tires as well as left and right tires can wear at different rates. 
It is important to periodically rotate your tires to extend your tire life. Refer 
to the maintenance schedule in this manual for the recommended interval.

Use the following pattern for a vehicle with no spare tire:

• 

Right Rear to Right Front

• 

Right Front to Left Rear

• 

Left Rear to Left Front

• 

Left Front to Right Rear

Use the following pattern for a vehicle with spare tire:

• 

Right Rear to Right Front

• 

Right Front to Left Rear

• 

Left Rear to Spare

• 

Spare to Left Front 

• 

Left Front to Right Rear

Replacing a Tire

Tire replacement should only be performed by an qualified technician trained in tire 

replacement.

Improper tools or procedures can result in explosion of the tire/wheel assembly causing 
severe bodily injury or death.

WARNING

Never mix tire types, tire sizes, speed ratings, or load capacity.

Only use the tire types and sizes approved for use on this model. Contact your authorized 

Taylor-Dunn dealer to confirm approved tire types and sizes.

Mixing tires or installing a tire that is not approved may:

• 

Cause handling problems with the vehicle.

• 

Cause sudden tire failure due to mechanical interference.

• 

Accelerated tire wear and premature failure.

Any of the above may cause loss of control of the vehicle resulting in a collision or accident 
with severe bodily injury.
