Tire Rotation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Tires on the front and rear axles operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, the tires wear at unequal rates. They may also develop irregular wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating the tires according to the maintenance schedule in the Owners Manual. This will improve tread life, traction and maintain a smooth quiet ride.
The recommended method of tire rotation for a single rear wheel vehicle is to cross the front wheels to the rear, and to move the rear wheels straight forward to the front. Other methods can be used, but may not provide the same tire longevity benefits.
