Maintenance and Care Rotating the tires After each rotation, adjust individual tire pressure as specified on the Tire Pressure Decal. Tighten wheel lug nuts to the required torque specification and retighten again after 500 miles (800 km). If your vehicle has the optional full-size spare tire, you may rotate the spare tire into the rotation pattern. WARNING If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control of the vehicle. If your vehicle has aluminum wheels, you may remove the fullsize spare tire from the wheel and remount it on an aluminum wheel to rotate the spare tire into your vehicle's rotation pattern. Replacing the Tires Replace tires that show wear bands. When your tire shows a wear band, it has only 1/16 of an inch (1.59 mm) of tread left. 301
