service interval PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1995 Owners Manual

Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If
unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as
possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for
damaged tires or wheels. See “When it’s Time for New
Tires” and “Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for
all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation
is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.

If you have P245/5OZR16 Goodyear Eagle GS-C tires,
they must roll
in a certain direction for the best overall
performance. The direction
is shown by an arrow on
both sidewalls. Because these tires are directional, they should be rotated as shown here. These tires should only
be moved from front to rear and rear to front on the
same side
of the vehicle. I I
