Rotating tires
Warning!
Force exerted by the vehicle on the road
via the tires. The amount of grip provided.
A tire information system that provides
consumers with ratings for a tire’s traction,
temperature and treadwear. Ratings are
determined by tire manufacturers using
government testing procedures. The
ratings are molded into the sidewall of the
tire.
G
Tread
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the tires
are of the same dimension.
The portion of a tire that comes into
contact with the road.
If your vehicle is equipped with mixed-size
tires (different tire dimensions front vs.
rear), tire rotation is not possible.
Treadwear indicators
Vehicle maximum load on the tire
Narrow bands, sometimes called
“wear bars” that show across the tread of
1
a tire when only /16 in (1.6 mm) of tread
remains.
Load on an individual tire that is
determined by distributing to each axle its
share of the maximum loaded vehicle
weight and dividing it by two.
Tire rotation can be performed on vehicles
with tires of the same dimension all
around. If your vehicle is equipped with
tires of the same dimension all around,
tires can be rotated, observing a
TWR (Tongue Weight Rating)
front-to-rear rotation pattern that will
maintain the intended rotation (spinning)
direction of the tire (୴ page 280).
Maximum permissible weight on trailer
tongue.
In some cases, such as when your vehicle
is equipped with mixed-size tires (different
tire dimension front vs. rear), tire rotation
is not possible.
