Maintenance Tires and wheels
Without a spare
tire
Directional
tires
(if equipped)
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are
rotated.
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
䳜 Do not use the compact spare tire
for tire rotation.
䳜 Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.
Wheel alignment and tire balance
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire
life and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again.
However, if you notice unusual tire
wear or your vehicle pulling one way
or the other, the alignment may
need to be reset.
If you notice your vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road,
your wheels may need to be rebal
-
anced.
Improper wheel weights can dam
-
age your vehicle's aluminum wheels.
Use only approved wheel weights.
