more tread on the rear tires will help reduce oversteer. Oversteer is wh\
en a vehicle wants to keep turning
because of momentum and dynamic forces on its suspension.
Suspension wear diagnostics
Every suspension needs periodic inspection and maintenance. A tire's wea\
r pattern can be an aid in
detecting a suspension problem. Each tire, if left in place, tells a sto\
ry about the suspension. Tire rotation,
on the other hand, could make suspension wear harder to detect. Early de\
tection is very important,
because suspension problems can make tire wear worse.
If you do rotate your tires...
Please follow the tire manufacturer's recommendations, as outlined in th\
e tire manufacturers tire warranty
pamphlet.

On cars with a spare wheel, the jack and lug wrench are secured in a foa\
m plastic block placed in the
center of the wheel.
