Tires and wheels
Tire rotation
To keep uniform wear of the
tires, it is recommended to rotate
the tires every 10.000 kilometers
driving.
If there is unusual wear, rotate the
tires as soon as possible. Check
tire balances after rotating. Also
check to see if there is non-uni-
form wear. Mostly, unusual wear
occurs due to unsuitable tire in-
ation pressure, misalignment
of the wheels and unbalancing
the tires, sudden brakes or sharp
turns and hot rings.
Attention
Rotate unidirectional tires
and radial tires that have an
asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs from front to rear only,
not from side to side. Tire
performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
Notice that if there is any bump
on the tread or both sides of the
tire.
If you see any of the above
mentioned indications, replace
the tires. Also, if the tire wear is
such that you can see cord or
fabric, replace the tire.
After rotating the tires, check
their ination pressure to be
adjusted at the specied limit
and tighten their nuts.
Whenever you rotate the tires,
check for the wear of brake
linings.
