Suspension wear diagnostics Every suspension needs periodic inspection and maintenance. A tire's wear pattern can be an aid in detecting a suspension problem. Each tire, if left in place, tells a story about the suspension. Tire rotation, on the other hand, could make suspension wear harder to detect. Early detection is very important, because suspension problems can make tire wear worse. If you do rotate your tires...Please follow the tire manufacturer's recommendations, as outlined in the tire manufacturers tire warranty pamphlet. 253 06 Maintenance and specifications Wheels and tires Changing a wheel Spare wheel The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only intended for temporary use. Replace the spare wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possible. The car's handling may be altered by the use of the spare wheel.
