Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi). See
Scheduled Maintenance on
page 11‑2.
Tires are rotated to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Any time unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as
soon as possible and check the
wheel alignment . Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See
When It Is Time for New Tires
on page 10‑73 and Wheel
Replacement on page 10‑77.
If your vehicle has dual rear
wheels, also see Dual Tire
Rotation on page 10‑72.
Use this rotation pattern when
rotating the tires if the vehicle
has single rear wheels and the
tread design for the front tires is
the same as the rear tires.
