Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. 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. Refer to Maintenance Schedule (North American Emissions) . 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.

If the spare tire is to be included in the rotation, remove it from the vehicle.
Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
Remove the 4 center caps from the wheels.
Remove the lug nuts from all of the 4 wheels.
