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 tire and wheel whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.

Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in 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. Remove all of the tires/wheels.

•	For vehicles with steel wheels, refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation

•	For Chevrolet and Oldsmobile vehicles with aluminum wheels, refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation

•	For Pontiac and Export vehicles with aluminum wheels, refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation




2. Rotate the tires/wheels. Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then, set the tire pressure.
