STARTING AND OPERATING
TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at
different loads and perform different steering, driving,
and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at
unequalrates.
CAUTION!
Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are
used.
SNOW TIRES
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressivetreaddesignssuchasthoseonallseasontype
tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain
mud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth,quietride.
Snowtiresshouldbeofthesamesizeandtypeconstruc-
tion as the front tires. Consult the manufacturer of the
snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed
requirement associated with the tire. These tires should
always be operated at the vehicle maximum capacity
inflationpressuresunderanyloadcondition.
Referto“MaintenanceSchedule”forthepropermainte-
nance intervals. More frequent rotation is permissible if
desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear

While studded tires improve performance on ice, skid
and traction capability on wet or dry surfaces may be
poorer than that of non-studded tires. Some states pro-
hibit studded tires; therefore, local laws should be
checkedbeforeusingthesetiretypes.
