TIRE SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Remember to follow your vehicle Owner’s Manual for tire rotation
intervals. Your Limited Warranty recommends Nitto
®
brand tires to
be rotated as follows:
• Every 3,500 miles or less for high performance (low profi le)
tires.
• Every 7,500 miles or less for standard passenger and light
truck tires.
More frequent rotation or a thorough vehicle inspection may be
necessary if, upon inspection, irregular or erratic treadwear is
beginning to appear.
It is important to remember the following:
• These tire rotation recommendations do not take into
account different tire and construction types mixed on the
vehicle.
• Some tires cannot be rotated in the manner described.
Such tires include unidirectional tires. Unidirectional tread
patterns must be rotated front-to-rear only so that the
direction of revolution does not change.
• Some vehicles are designed with different tire sizes on the
front and rear axles. Normally, such combinations will not
allow rotation. Prior to rotating, consult the vehicle Owner’s
Manual.
• For vehicles with dual rear wheels, see the vehicle Owner’s
Manual for the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures. If your
vehicle Owner’s Manual is not available, please contact the
vehicle manufacturer.
• Some vehicles are equipped with wheels that limit the
choice of rotation pattern. Consult the vehicle Owner’s
Manual.
• Do not include temporary spare tires in the rotation pattern.
However, if your spare tire is the same size and type as
a road tire (for LT tires of the same size, type, and load
rating), it should be included in the tire rotation process.
The proper procedure is to use the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended tire rotation procedures, or if not available,
to use the appropriate rotation pattern shown, inserting the
spare in the right rear position. Place the tire that would
have gone to the right rear in the spare tire storage position
as the new spare.
• Important! After rotation, adjust the pressure of
the individual tires to the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendation or the infl ation pressure recommended
by Nitto
®
for an optional fi tment according to the tire’s new
location on the vehicle.
• Do not mix speed-rated tires on the same axle. Higher
