Tire and Wheel Rotation

STANDARD PROCEDURE - TIRE ROTATION
Tires on the front and rear axles operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, the tires wear at unequal rates. They may also develop irregular wear patterns. These effects can be reduced by rotating the tires according to the maintenance schedule in the Owners Manual. This will improve tread life, traction and maintain a smooth quiet ride.

The recommended method of tire rotation is. Other methods can be used, but may not provide the same tire longevity benefits.





Dual wheel vehicles require a different tire rotation pattern. Refer to for the proper tire rotation with dual wheels.
