Tire Inspection and Rotation
We recommend that you regularly inspect your
vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, for signs of
wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New
Tires
on page 6‑70
for more information.
Always remove the tires if any of the following
statements are true:
.
You can see the indicators at three or more
places around the tire.
.
You can see cord or fabric showing through
the tire's rubber.
.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show cord or
fabric.
.
The tire has a bump, bulge, or split.
.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage
that cannot be repaired well because of the
size or location of the damage.
Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km
(7,500 miles). See Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 7‑3
.
The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will
ensure that your vehicle continues to perform
most like it did when the tires were new.
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate the tires
as soon as possible and check wheel alignment.
Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See
When It Is Time for New Tires
on page 6‑70
and
Wheel Replacement
on page 6‑76
.
When rotating the vehicle's tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern shown here.
Do not include the compact spare tire in the tire
rotation.
