Tire Rotation






To equalize wear, rotate tires at the correct intervals. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tires whenever wear is noticed. Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly when mounted in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive positions may develop an irregular wear pattern that can increase tire noise if not rotated. This makes regular rotation especially necessary.

After rotation, be sure to check wheel nuts for specified torque and adjust inflation pressure.
