Tire Rotation: Inspection

  1. Replace the tire if the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm (0.063 in) or if wear indicators appear across the tire tread.
    CAUTION: It is recommended that both right and left tires are replace as a set.
  2. Adjust the wheel alignment if abnormally uneven tire wear is found.
  3. Also, rotate the tires between the front and rear tires as illustrated every 12,500 km (7,500 miles) running, in order to ensure uniform tire wear.
