Tire Rotation (Non-Directional)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Cadillac ATS. 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. Refer to the Owners Manual for the proper Maintenance schedule. 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 and Wheel Removal and Installation (Non V-Series) Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (V-Series) .
