Tire Inspection
and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
7,500
miles
(12
500
km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires
as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tires or wheels. See
When It Is Time
for New Tires on page
5-56
and
Wheel Replacement
on page
5-59
for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See “Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services,” in Section 6, for scheduled
rotation intervals.
Don’t include the compact spare tire in your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and
rear inflation pressures as shown
on
the Tire-Loading
Information label.
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and
Specifications on page
5-86.
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or
or
parts to
which
it
is
fastened, can make wheel
nuts
become loose after a time. The wheel could
come
off
and cause an accident. When you
change a wheel, remove any rust
or
dirt from
places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle.
In
an emergency, you can use a cloth or a
paper towel to do
this;
but be sure
to
use a
