Tire Inspection and Rotation Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles (10 QOO. to 13 0.00 km).

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 mast important. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services" in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals.
