To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that you rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops.

During rotation, check the tyres for correct balance.

When rotating the tyres, check for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tyre pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of-balance wheels, severe braking, or severe turning. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or on the side of the tyre. Replace the tyre if you find either of these conditions. Replace the tyre if fabric or cord is visible. After rotating the tyres, be sure to bring the front and rear tyre pressures to specification and check the tightness of the lug nuts (proper torque is 11–13 kgf·m [79–94 lb-ft]).

Refer to Tyres and wheels.

Inspect the disc brake pads for wear whenever you rotate the tyres.

Rotate radial tyres with an asymmetric tread pattern only from front to rear and not from right to left.
