10-68 Vehicle Care
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 miles). See
Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 11‑2
.
The purpose of a regular tire
rotation is to achieve a uniform
wear for all tires on the vehicle.
This will ensure that your vehicle
continues to perform most like it
did when the tires were new.
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 10‑70
and Wheel
Replacement
on page 10‑76
.
If your vehicle has dual rear
wheels, also see Dual Tire
Rotation
on page 10‑70
.
If your vehicle has single rear
wheels and the tread design for
the front tires is the same as the
rear tires, use the rotation
pattern shown here when
rotating the tires.
If your vehicle has dual rear
wheels and the tread design for
the front tires is the same as the
rear tires, always use one of the
correct rotation patterns shown
here when rotating the tires.
