Tire Rotation
Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear
differently depending on the types of roads driven,
driving habits, etc� To obtain the longest tire life, you
should inspect and rotate your tires regularly�
Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform
a free tire inspection to look for uneven or abnormal tire
wear�
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles�
For the longest tire life, any time irregular wear is seen
have the tires checked, alignment checked, and tires
rotated by your truck or tire dealer� Have the cause of
uneven wear corrected�
Rotation Pattern For Wheels
NOTE
Read the Ram ProMaster Owner’s Manual for
complete instruction on tire rotation, installation,
and maintenance.
Support
Since touring coach’s may sit for long periods it is
important to properly support the tires if blocks are
used for leveling�
Caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are
fully supported when using blocks to level the touring
coach� The load on the tire should be evenly distributed
on the block� If not done, the steel cables in the
sidewall of the tires may be damaged and could lead to
premature fatigue of the sidewall�
Correct
Figure 1
Tire Foot Print
The CORRECT method is shown in Figure 1� The tire
is supporting the full load� Please note that the block is
wider than the tread and longer than the tire’s footprint�
This provides maximum support to the tire and ensures
that the load is evenly distributed throughout the tire’s
footprint area�
Incorrect

INCORRECT method is shown in Figure 2: A portion of
the tire is supporting the full load�
WARNING
Tires that are incorrectly supported may be
damaged, which could lead to casing failure
resulting in serious injury or property damage.
If, on previous occasions, the tires have been
incorrectly supported, hidden damage may be
present. Please contact your local tire dealer and
request an inspection and a determination of
possible damage.
