Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to Maintenance Schedule in Maintenance and Lubrication. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tires and wheels whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.

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

1. Always use a 4-wheel rotation.
2. Inspect the wheel nut torque. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation .
3. Inspect the tire pressure. Refer to the tire placard located in the glove compartment for the tire inflation specifications.
