III.
TYRE ROTATION
To equalize wear rotate the tyres as per to the
figure given below periodically. Tyre rotation is
recommended for achieving identical wear on
each tyre. Regular rotation of tyres will also
prevent abnormal wear. The sketch indicates a
suggested sequence of tyre rotation. Rotate tyre
at a point specified in the service schedule.
NOTE
The tyre rotation should always be done including
the spare wheel. Spare wheel can be excluded
from rotation in the following conditions
•
If the spare wheel is damaged and not
recommended for normal use.
•
If the spare wheel size is different from the
normal tyres.
