Tyre rotation
E01001900958
Tyre wear varies with vehicle conditions, road surface condi-
tions and individual driver’s driving habits. To equalize the
wear and help extend tyre life, it is recommended to rotate the
tyres immediately after discovery of abnormal wear, or when-
ever the wear difference between the front and rear tyres is rec-
ognizable.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure,
improper wheel alignment, out of balance wheel, or severe
braking. We recommend you to have it checked to determine
the cause of irregular tread wear.
CAUTION
!●A compact spare tyre can be fitted temporarily in
place of a tyre that has been removed during the
tyre rotation. However, it must not be included in
the regular tyre rotation sequence.Tyres that have arrows showing rotation direction
