Tire Rotation

Checking For Pull And Wander

If the steering pulls to one side, rotate the tires according to the following wheel rotation procedure.

1.	Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.

2.	If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.

3.	If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road test.

4.	If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.

Removal

1.	Remove valve core and deflate the tire.

Remove the side of the tire bead area from the wheel using tire changing machine .
