tire’s new location on the vehicle. Vehicle alignment should be

checked if irregular wear is evident.

For vehicles with a “temporary use” spare tire, follow the vehicle

manufacturer’s recommended pattern for rotation, or, if not provid-

ed, the following may be used:

If your spare is the same size, load rating, and type of tire as

your road tires, it should be included in the tire rotation process.

For vehicles with a “full-size” spare, the following rotation pat-

terns may be used:

Note:

• Never include a “temporary use” spare tire in the rotation.

• Tires with directional tread patterns must be rotated so the

direction of revolution does not change; this may require

demounting/mounting the tires.

• Special attention should be given if your vehicle is equipped

with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Rotation of

your tires may affect the system; consult your vehicle owner’s

manual or a qualified tire service professional.

• Some vehicles may have different size tires/wheels on front

and rear which would restrict rotation. Always check and

follow the vehicle manufacturer’s rotation recommendation.

• To use a full-size spare in the rotation pattern on vehicles with

dual rear wheels, consult your vehicle owner’s manual for the

recommended procedures or consult the vehicle manufacturer.

YOUR SPARE TIRE

Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for proper application of

your spare tire. Your car may be equipped with a “temporary

use” spare tire; this spare may differ in size and construction

from the other tires on your vehicle.
