Tire Rotation
The tires should be rotated
every 12 000 km/7,500 mi. See
Maintenance Schedule0307.
Tires are rotated to achieve
uniform wear for all tires. The
first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is
noticed, rotate the tires as soon
as possible, check for proper tire
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is Time
for New Tires 0277 andWheel
Replacement 0281.
Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern if the
vehicle has different size tires
on the front and rear.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and
Loading Information label after
the tires have been rotated. See
Tire Pressure 0270 and Vehicle
Load Limits 0177.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation 0274.
