Tire Inspection and Rotation We recommend that you regularly inspect your vehicle's tires, including the spare tire, for signs of wear or damage. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 6‑71 for more information. Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km). See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7‑3. The purpose of a regular tire rotation is to achieve a uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. This will ensure that your vehicle continues to perform most like it did when the tires were new. The first rotation is the most important. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7‑3. Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. SeeWhen It Is Time for New Tires on page 6‑71 and Wheel Replacement on page 6‑76. When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. Do not include the spare or compact spare tire 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 Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6‑63 and Loading the Vehicle on page 5‑31. 6-70
