274 Vehicle Care
Tire Rotation
Different forces in front and rear
tires make them wear differently,
depending on several factors, such
as road surface, the way of driving,
suspension alignment, wheel
balancing, tires pressure, etc.
The owner must carry out an
evaluation of the vehicle wear, and
this includes regular tire rotation,
which should not exceed 10,000 km.
tire rotation is vital to achieving
even tread wear and long tire life.
The tire rotation must be performed
as indicated in the illustration.
The tire condition is an item that is
checked during a periodic
inspection at a Chevrolet dealer of
your preference, which can
diagnose signs of uneven wear that
may compromise your car safety
and performance.
Never include a temporary spare tire
in the tire rotation due to size
differences.
Caution
.
Due to ageing, the tire
rubber gets deteriorated.
This is also valid for the
spare tire even if it was
not used.
.
Tire ageing depends on
many conditions of use,
including temperature, load
conditions and also tire
inflation pressure.

.
To evaluate the use
conditions, the tires should
be taken regularly to the
manufacturer ’s technical
assistance.

A spare tire which was not
used within a 6-year period
should be used in
emergencies only. If you
need to use this tire, drive at
low speeds.
When It Is Time for New
Tires
The tire must be replaced when
cuts, bulges on sidewalls or any
other deformation type are present.
