Tire Rotation




Tire Rotation

Tools Required

J 39544-KIT Torque Socket Set

Removal Procedure

In order to equalize wear, rotate the tires at the specified intervals. Refer to Maintenance Schedule (North American Emissions) (Maintenance). In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assembly whenever you notice uneven tire wear.

Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions, due to design. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that can generate tire noise. This especially makes regular tire rotation necessary.

1. If the spare tire is to be included in the rotation, remove it from the vehicle.
2. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle (Service and Repair).
3. Remove the 4 center caps from the wheels.
4. Remove the lug nuts from all of the 4 wheels.




5. Including the spare tire, rotate the 5 tires as shown.




6. Excluding the spare tire, rotate the 4 tires as shown.

Installation Procedure

1. Install the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation (Service and Repair)
2. Install the 4 center caps.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Check the tire pressure. Refer to the placard and adjust the tire pressure as necessary.
5. Perform the tire pressure sensor learn procedure, if equipped. Refer to Tire Pressure Indicator Sensor Learn (Service and Repair).
