10-48 Vehicle Care Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate the tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 10‑49 and Wheel Replacement on page 10‑54 . If the vehicle has a compact spare tire, do not include it in the tire rotation. After the tires have been rotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure on page 10‑42 and Vehicle Load Limits on page 9‑10 . Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 10‑44 . Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" under Capacities and Specifications on page 12‑2 . When rotating the vehicle's tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. Tire Inspection We recommend that you regularly inspect your vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, for signs of wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 10‑49 for more information. Tire Rotation Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance on page 11‑2 . The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will ensure that the vehicle continues to perform most like it did when the tires were new.
