Rotation

WARNING: DO NOT USE TEMPORARY SPARE FOR ROTATION OR AS A REGULAR TIRE. THE TEMPORARY SPARE IS PROVIDED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. ANY CONTINUED ROAD USE OF THE TEMPORARY SPARE MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

NOTE: Tire and wheel rebalancing should not be required when rotating tires.

^ If unusual or uneven tire wear is observed, determine the cause and correct the condition before rotating tires.
^ If abnormal wear is detected, find and correct the cause and rotate the tires following the diagram to allow more even wear.
^ Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the type of vehicle and driving habits. To equalize wear and optimize tire life rotate tires at approximately 12,000 km (7,500 miles) and then each 24,000 km (15,000 miles) thereafter.
^ Rotate the LH rear tire to the RH front position and the RH rear to the LH front position. Rotate the LH front to the LH rear and the RH front to the RH rear position.
