Tire Rotation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra, 2003 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2003 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In order to equalize wear, rotate the tires at the specified intervals. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever you notice uneven tire wear.
Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions, due to design. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that can generate tire noise. This especially makes regular tire rotation necessary.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to JACKING AND LIFTING .
- Remove the 4 center caps from the wheels.
- Remove the lug nuts from all of the 4 wheels.
- Rotate the 4 tires as shown.
