Tire rotation is not recommended if your vehicle has the following tire combinations:
| • | P235/65R17 size tires on the front wheels and P255/60R17 size tires on the rear wheels. |
| • | P235/60R18 size tires on the front wheels and P255/55R18 size tires on the rear wheels. |
Different tire sizes should not be rotated front to rear. Each tire and wheel should only be used in its original front or rear position.
Tire rotation is recommended if your vehicle is equipped with P255/50R20 size tires on all four wheel positions. These tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles (8 000 to 13 000 km)
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires and Wheel Replacement 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 most important. See Scheduled Maintenance .
When rotating P255/50R20 size tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here.
Do not include the 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.
Vehicles that have the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will need to have the TPMS sensors reset after a tire rotation, see Tire Pressure Monitor System .
Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" under Capacities and Specifications .
Caution: Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the parts to which it is fastened, can make wheel nuts become loose after time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. When you change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where the wheel attaches to the vehicle. In an emergency, you can use a cloth or a paper towel to do this; but be sure to use a scraper or wire brush later, if needed, to get all the rust or dirt off. See Changing a Flat Tire .
