Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:

l

Incorrect tire pressure

l

Improper wheel alignment

l

Out-of-balance wheel

l

Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 10-6) 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 weakened if rotated from side to
side.

Replacing a Tire

WARNING

Worn Tires:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Always use tires that are in good
condition.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

You should replace it before the band is
across the entire tread.

q

Temporary Spare Tire

Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it's properly inflated
and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction. It is
lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire and should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.

Use the temporary only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.

Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (4.2 kgf/
cm

2

or bar, 60 psi).
