Rotate the tires in the order shown.
To equalize tire wear and help extend tire life, Toyota recommends that tire
rotation is carried out approximately every 10000 km (6000 miles).
Q When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
O The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
O You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
O A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Q Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it
has seldom or never been used or damage is not obvious.
Q If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
