When
to
Check
Check your tires once
a
month or more.
uon’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60
psi
(420
kPa).
How
to
Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage
to
check tire
pressure.
You
can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may
look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every
6,000
to
8,000
miles
(10
000
to
13
000
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’s
Time
for New Tires” and
“Wheel Replacement’’ later in this section for
more information.
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 “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
If
you don’t have P245/5OZR16 or P275/40ZR17
Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires, use the rotation pattern
shown above for your tires.
