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
1tPa).
How
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.

x
Tire lnspection
and
Rotation
To make your tires last longer, have
them inspected and rotated at the
mileages recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule. See
Scheduled
Maintenance Services
in
the
Index.
Use this rotation pattern.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressure as
shown
on the Tire-Loading Information
label. Make certain that all wheel nuts
are properly tightened. See
Wheel
Nut
Torque
in the
Index.
