Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
7,500
miles
(12
500
km).
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
5-63
and
Wheel Replacement
on page
5-66
for more information.
Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push, pull,
and then try to rotate or turn the tire,
If
it moves, use the
folding wrench to tighten the cable. See
Changing
a
Flat
Tire on page
5-70.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See “Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services,” in Section
6,
for scheduled
rotation intervals.
