Tire Rotation

To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles)/8,000
km

*

(5,000 miles) or sooner if irregular

wear develops. During rotation, inspect
them for correct balance.

* Unique driving conditions for U.S.A.,

Canada and Puerto Rico

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 10-6) 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.

New tread

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