Tire Rotation: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2002 GMC Yukon XL, 2002 GMC Yukon, 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2002 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche. 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 LIFTING AND JACKING THE VEHICLE in General Information.
- Remove the 4 center caps from the wheels.
- Remove the lug nuts from all of the 4 wheels.
- Rotate the 4 tires as shown.
