Maintenance
Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recom
mended that the tires be rotated
every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pres
sure, improper wheel alignment, out
ofbalance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tire.
Replace the tire if you find either of
these conditions. Replace the tire if
fabric or cord is visible. After rotation,
be sure to bring the front and rear tire
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tire and wheels” in chapter
8.Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information
Rotate radial tires that have an asym
metric tread pattern only from front
to rear and not from right to left.i
