Tire Rotation

TIRE ROTATION

There is a close working relationship between your tires and several mechanical systems in your

vehicle. Tires, wheels, brakes, shock absorbers, drive train, steering and suspension systems

must all function together smoothly to give you a comfortable ride and good tire mileage. All

of these systems should be checked periodically as speciﬁed by the vehicle owner’s manual or

whenever you have an indication of trouble.

Proper tire maintenance includes the proper rotation of tires. Tires must be rotated at the

ﬁrst signs of uneven tread wear or up to every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) in accordance

with prescribed rotation patterns. For safety purposes have your tires inspected by a tire

professional every time they are rotated. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manuals for rotation

recommendations for speciﬁc vehicles. If no rotation pattern is speciﬁed, use the pattern

listed which applies to your vehicle. Failure to rotate your tires within these requirements will

void the mileage portion of your warranty.

Do not include a “Temporary Use Only” spare tire in any of these rotation patterns. If you have a

matching full size tire as a spare and wish to include it in the rotation process, use the rotation

pattern which applies to your vehicle but insert the spare in the right rear position. The tire that

would normally have rotated to the right rear position should then become the spare.

NOTE: Non-radial tires must not be used in a rotation program.
