Tire Care

WARNING: Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tires when you are parking.

Regularly check all of the tire pressures. See Tire Pressures.

Regularly check all of the tires for cuts, foreign material and uneven tire wear.Uneven tire wear could indicate that the wheel alignment or tire pressures are not to specification. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

To avoid tire damage, slowly move your vehicle if you have to mount a curb. Have the wheels as much as possible to right angles to the curb.

Repositioning the Wheels and Tires

We recommend that you reposition the wheels and tires from front to rear and vice versa at intervals of between 5,000 km and 10,000 km. This helps the tires to wear evenly and last longer. See Changing a Road Wheel.

Reposition the wheels and tires as shown:

Note: Front tires are shown on the left.

Non-Directional Tires

Directional Tires

Note: Directional tires have an arrow on the sidewall to indicate the correct direction of wheel rotation.Do not switch directional tires to the other side of your vehicle.
