(approximately every 10,000 miles
[16,000km]). More frequent rotation is
permissible if desired. The reasons for
any rapid or unusual wear should be
corrected prior to rotation being
performed.
Tire Rotations Not Recommended — If
Equipped
Due to different size tires and wheels on
front and rear axles tire rotation is not
possible for:
2.0T GME Engine Equipped with a
225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear
tires.
Caution!
Damage to the vehicle may occur if
225/40R19 front and 255/35R19 rear
tires are rotated
Tire rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tires
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting an authorized
dealer.
Tire Rotation for Directional Tires — If
Equipped
Directional tires are equipped on the
following:
2.0T GME Engine equipped with same
size tires and wheels on front and rear
axles
The rotational direction of the tire must
be taken into consideration when
rotating the tires. The recommended
rotation pattern for directional tires is
shown below.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) Models
It is recommended to avoid situations
with a large difference in wear between
the front and rear tires and to strictly use
winter tires of the sizes given on the tire
placard.
The AWD system and the original tires
are developed together to ensure the
vehicle’s best performance. When
changing the tires, it is recommended to
us the same “AR” marked tires, to
maintain the same level of performance
and component life.

TIRE QUALITY GRADES
The following tire grading categories
were established by the National
Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.The specific grade
rating assigned by the tire's
manufacturer in each category is
shown on the sidewall of the tires on
your vehicle.
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal safety
requirements in addition to these
grades.
Treadwear
The Treadwear grade is a
comparative rating, based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one and one-half times as well
on the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
