Tire Inspection and Rotation Tires should be inspected every 6,000 to 8,000 miles ( I 0 000 to 13 000 km) for any signs of unusual wear. If unusual wear is present, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See "When It's Time for New Tires" and "Wheel Replacement" later in this section for more information. When rotating your tires, always use the correct rotation pattern shown here. After the tires have beenrotated, adjust the front and rear inflation pressures as shown on the CertificatiodTire label. Make certain that all wheel nuts are properly tightened. See "Wheel Nut Torque" in the Index. The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation is the most important. See "Scheduled Maintenance Services" in the Index for scheduled rotation intervals. Rust or dirt on wheel, a or on the parts which to it is fastened, can makewheel nuts becomeloose after a time. The wheel could come off and cause an accident. Whenyou change a wheel, remove any rust or dirt from places where wheel the attaches to thevehicle. In anemergency, you can towel to do this; but be use a cloth or a paper sure touse a scraperor wire brush later, if you need to, to get all the rust or dirt off.
