vehicle's engine underEngine Type,in this

Tire Rotation
*
[SV26000(ALL)04/95]
Because your vehicle's front and rear tires
perform different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires wear evenly
and last longer, rotate them as indicated in the
following diagram.
*
[SV26100(ALL)04/95]
Do not include the spare tire as part of your
rotation.
*
[SV26150(ALL)03/95]

Schedule and Recordbooklet. If you notice the
tires wearing unevenly, have them checked.
