Tire Rotation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals to equalize wear. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.
Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary.
Refer to Tire & Wheel Removal & Installation .
Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then, set the tire pressure.
