Tire Rotation Recommendations

The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at

different loads and perform different steering, handling,

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The

benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggres-

sive tread designs such as those on On/Off Road type tires.

Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain mud,

snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth,

quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper mainte-

nance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear

should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is the “rearward-cross”

shown in the following diagram.

CAUTION!

Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends
on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each
wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to
the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule should be
followed to balance tire wear.
