Tire Inspection and Rotation
Inspect tires regularly for signs of wear or damage.
Also inspect the spare tire. For more information
on tire inspection, see When It Is Time for
New Tires on page 5-73.
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance
on page 6-4.
The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve
a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This
will ensure that the 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 5-73 and
Wheel Replacement on page 5-78.
If your vehicle has single rear wheels, always use
the correct rotation pattern shown here when
rotating the vehicle’s tires. Do not include the spare
tire in the tire rotation.
