Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies at frequent intervals in order to equalize tire wear. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in the Owner's Manual. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel assemblies whenever the tires are worn unevenly.

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

1. Remove the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .



2. Rotate the tire and wheel assemblies using a 4-wheel rotation pattern.
3. Install the tire and wheel assemblies. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
4. Measure the tire pressure. If necessary, adjust the tire pressure to the specification on the tire placard.
