To help increase tire life and
distribute wear more evenly, rotate
the tires every 10,000 miles
(16,000 km) on 4-cylinder models
and 7,500 miles (12,000 km) on
6-cylinder models. Move the tires to
the positions shown in the chart each
time they are rotated. If you
purchase directional tires, rotate
only front-to-back.
Replace your tires with radial tires of
the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold tire
pressure rating (as shown on the
tire’s sidewall). Mixing radial and
bias-ply tires on your vehicle can
reduce braking ability, traction, and
steering accuracy. Using tires of a
different size or construction can
cause the ABS to work inconsistently.
TheABSworksbycomparingthe
speed of the wheels. When replacing
tires, use the same size originally
supplied with the vehicle. Tire size
and construction can affect wheel
speed and may cause the system to
work.
It is best to replace all four tires at
thesametime.Ifthatisnotpossible
or necessary, replace the two front
tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle’s handling.
If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s specifications
match those of the original wheels.
