NOTE:
•
The tire pressure should be checked
and adjusted and the tires inspected
for signs of wear or visible damage, at
least once a month.
•
Check tire pressure more often if sub-
ject to a wide range of outdoor tem-
peratures, as tire pressure varies 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 for temporary emer-
gency use. It is engineered to be used
on your style vehicle only.
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.
