Service & Appearance Care

When to Check: Check your tires once a
month
or more. Don’t forget your
compact spare tire. It should be at
60 psi
(420 kPa).
How to Check: Use a good quality
pocket-type gage to check tire pressure.
Simply looking at the tires will not tell
you the pressure, especially if you have
radial tires
- which may look properly
inflated even if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to
put them back on. They help prevent
leaks by keeping out
dirt and moisture.

Tire Inspection and Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have them
inspected and rotated at the mileages
recommended
in the Maintenance
Schedule. See “Scheduled Maintenance
Services”
in the Index.
If you don’t have
P245/50ZR 16 size tires,
use the rotation pattern shown above for
your size tires. If
you have P245/50ZR16 size tires, they
must roll
in a certain direction for the best
overall performance. The direction is
shown by an arrow on both sidewalls.
Because these tires are directional, they
should
be rotated as shown in the
example above. These tires should only
be moved from front to rear and rear to
front on the same side of the vehicle.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire-Loading Information
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut
Torque” in the Index.
