If you have

P275/40ZR17
Goodyear
Eagle GS-C tires, they must roll in a certain direction
for the best overall performance. The direction is shown
by an arrow
on
the sidewall. Because these tires are
directional, they
should
be rotated as shown here. These
tires should
only
be moved from front to rear and rear to
front on the same side of the vehicle.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown
on
the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that all wheel
nuts
are
properly tightened.
See
“Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.
Rust or dirt on
a
wheel, or on the parts to which
it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose
after a time. The wheel could come
off
and cause
an accident. When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can
use a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be
sure to use
a
scraper or wire brush later, if you
need to, to get all
the
rust
or
dirt
off.

“Changing
a
Flat Tire” in the Index.)
