Tire Rotation
Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals in order to equalize tire wear. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule (North American Emissions) . In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tires and wheels whenever the tires are worn unevenly.
Radial tires tend to wear in the shoulder area, particularly in the front positions. Radial tires in non-drive positions may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary.
- Always use a 4-wheel rotation.
- Inspect the wheel nut torque. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
- Measure the tire pressure. Adjust the tire pressure if necessary. Refer to Tire Placard .
