When
to
Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
Don’t forget your compact spare tire. It should be at
60
psi (420 kPa).
DW
to
Check
use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at the tires will not tell you the
pressure, especially if you have radial tires
--
which
may look properly inflated even if they’re underinflated.
If your tires have valve caps, be sure to put them back
on. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and
moisture.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be inspected every
6,000
to
8,000
miles
(1
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.
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.
