Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.

x

Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.

Tire Rotation

WARNING

Rotate tires periodically:

Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To

equalize tread wear for maintaining good

performance in handling and braking,

rotate the tires periodically or sooner if

irregular wear develops.

Please refer to Scheduled maintenance for

your tire rotation interval.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
 

1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
 
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:

x

Incorrect tire pressure

x

Improper wheel alignment

x

Out-of-balance wheel

x

Severe braking

 
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.

CAUTION

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires

that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or

studs only from front to rear, not from side

to side. Tire performance will be reduced if

rotated from side to side.
