After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the
front
and
rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire-Loading
Information label. Make certain that
all
wheel nuts
are
properly tightened. See “Wheel Nut Torque” in
the Index.

A
CAUTION:
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or
on
the parts to which
it
is
fastened, can make wheel
nuts
become loose
after
a
time. The
wheel
could come
off
and
cause
an accident. When you change a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where the wheel
attaches to
the
vehicle. In
an
emergency, you
can
use a cloth or
a
paper towel to
do
this; but be
sure to use
a
scraper or wire brush later,
if
you
need to, to get all the rust or
dirt
off.
(See
“Changing
a
Flat Tire” in the Index.)
When
It’s
Time
for
New
Tires
One way to tell when it’s
time for new
tires
is
to
check the treadwear
indicators, which will
appear when
your
tires have
only
1/16
inch
(1.6
mm)
or
less
of
tread remaining.
You need a new tire
if
any
of
the following statements
are true:
You
can
see
the
indicators at three or more places
around the tire.
You
can
see cord or fabric showing through the
tire’s rubber.
The tread
or
sidewall is cracked, cut
or
snagged deep
enough
to
show cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge or split.
0
The tire has a puncture, cut or other damage that
can’t be repaired well because
of
the size or location
of
the
damage.
