The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross”
shown in the following diagram.

These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with
aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off Road

type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main-
tain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to
a smooth, quiet ride.

CAUTION!

Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles de-
pends on tires of equal size, type and circumference
on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause
damage to the transfer case. Tire rotation schedule
should be followed to balance tire wear.

Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for the
proper maintenance intervals. Remember, more frequent
rotation is permissible if desired. Also, correct for any-
thing causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing
the tire rotation.
