NOTE

l

Always check tire pressure when tires are
cold.

l

Warm tires normally exceed recommended
pressures. Don't release air from warm tires
to adjust the pressure.

l

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.

l

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.

q

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 according to
the scheduled maintenance charts.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on
page 8-3.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY) 
spare tire in rotation.

Forward

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 10-7) 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.
