For 1990-2009 cars

Rotate the tires and wheels at frequent intervals to equalize wear. Refer to tire rotation in Maintenance and Lubrication. In addition to scheduled rotation, rotate the tire and wheel whenever uneven tire wear is noticed.

Radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly in front positions. Radial tires in non-drive locations may develop an irregular wear pattern that may increase tire noise. This makes regular rotation especially necessary.

Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation for tire removal.

Always use a 4-wheel rotation. After rotation, check the wheel nuts for specified torque. Then, set the tire pressure.
