330 VEHICLE CARE
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
10 000 km. See Maintenance
Schedule 0 359.
Tires are rotated to achieve a
more uniform wear for all tires.
The first rotation is the most
important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tires as soon as
possible, check for proper tire
inflation pressure, and check for
damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel
alignment. See When It Is Time for
New Tires 0 331 and
Wheel Replacement 0 334.
Different tire sizes should not be
rotated front to rear.
Use this rotation pattern if the
vehicle has different size tires on
the front and rear.
Use this rotation pattern if all
tires are the same size.
Adjust the front and rear tires to
the recommended inflation
pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label after the tires
have been rotated. See Tire
Pressure 0 323 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0 213.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure Monitor
Operation 0 327.
Check that all wheel nuts are
properly tightened. See “Wheel
Nut Torque” under Capacities and
Specifications 0 370.

could come off and cause a
