510 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at
different loads and perform different steering, handling, and
braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal
rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The
benefit
s of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggres-
sive tread designs such as those on On/Off Road type tires.
R
otatio
n will increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow,
and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet
ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Plan” for the proper maintenance
interva
ls. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should
be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is the “rearward-cross”
shown in
the following diagram.
Tire Rotation
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends
on tires
of equal size, type and circumference on each
wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to
the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule should be
followed to balance tire wear.
