Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can cause the front end of your

vehicle to become misaligned or cause damage to your tires. If your

vehicle seems to pull to one side when you’re driving, the wheels may be

out of alignment. Have an authorized dealer check the wheel alignment

periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front or the rear can cause uneven and rapid

treadwear of your tires and should be corrected by an authorized dealer.

Front-wheel drive vehicles and those with an independent rear

suspension (if equipped) may require alignment of all four wheels.

The tires should also be balanced periodically. An unbalanced tire and

wheel assembly may result in irregular tire wear.

Tire Rotation

Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask an authorized dealer to check

for and correct any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or mechanical

problem involved before tire rotation.

Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with a dissimilar spare tire and

wheel assembly. A dissimilar spare tire and wheel assembly is defined as

a spare tire and wheel that is different in brand, size or appearance from

the road tires and wheels. If you have a dissimilar spare tire and wheel

assembly, it is intended for temporary use only and should not be used

in a tire rotation.

Note: After having your tires rotated, inflation pressure must be checked

and adjusted to the vehicle requirements.

Rotating your tires at the recommended interval (as indicated in the

Scheduled Maintenance chapter) will help your tires wear more evenly,

providing better tire performance and longer tire life.

Sometimes irregular tire wear can be corrected by rotating the tires.
