GM Service Manual Online
For 1990-2009 cars only

The movement of the tires from the front of the vehicle to various rear wheel positions depends on the type of unit being operated. Use only tires with good non-skid tread design on the drive wheels.

Notice: Never rotate a drive-type tread tire to the front axle. When rotating tires, only rotate tires that have the same tire tread type. When a drive-type tread tire is placed on the front axle, improper vehicle handling and tire damage may result. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and the steering system.

Rotate the tires from the front wheel to the rear wheels when the tread depth is 3.2 mm (0.13 in). If the front wheel tire wear in uneven, then rotate the tires and inspect the vehicle for mechanical irregularities.
