Tire Rotation

To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires 
every 6,000 km (3,750 miles)/12,000 km

*

 

(7,500 miles) or sooner if irregular wear 
develops. During rotation, inspect them 
for correct balance.

*

Canada

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

Incorrect tire pressure

Improper wheel alignment

Out-of-balance wheel

Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to 
specification (page 10-6) and inspect the 
lug nuts for tightness.

NOTE

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

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

Overinflation can produce a harsh 
ride 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.

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.

Front

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

CAUTION
