Improper inflation pressure can cause
uneven wear patterns to develop
across the tire tread. These abnormal
wear patterns will reduce tread life re-
sulting in a need for early tire replace-
ment. Under inflation, also increases
tire rolling resistance and results in
higher fuel consumption.

NOTE:
•
At least once a month, check and ad-
just the tire pressure. Also, inspect
the tires for signs of wear or visible
damage.
•
Check tire pressures more often if
subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary
with temperature changes.
Tire Rotation
Tires on the front and rear axles of a
vehicle operate at different loads and
perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these rea-
sons, they wear at unequal rates and
tend to develop irregular wear pat-
terns. These effects can be reduced by
timely rotation of tires. The benefits of
rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as
those on all-season tires. Rotation will
increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels,
and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride. See ⬙Proper Maintenance Of Your
Vehicle⬙ for suggested rotation inter-
vals.
NOTE:
Tire rotation should be per-
formed every 8,000 km - 10,000 km.
Spare Tire
The spare tire is a conventional full
size tire that can be used for regular
driving conditions.
Tread Wear
Tire treads should be checked peri-
odically for any shearing or uneven
abrasions. The uneven abrasion of
tread indicates a possible incorrect
wheel alignment. There are laws re-
garding tread abrasion depth. Abra-
sion bands will appear when the tread
depth becomes 3 mm. When the tread
depth reaches this point the tire must
be replaced.
