Tire Rotation

~1min read

Tires should be rotated every 12 000 km (7,500 mi). See Maintenance Schedule on page 11‑3.

Tires are rotated to achieve a uniform wear for all tires. The first rotation is the most important.

Any time unusual wear is noticed, rotate the tires as soon as possible and check the wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time for New Tires on page 10‑71 and Wheel Replacement on page 10‑76.

If your vehicle has dual rear wheels, also see Dual Tire Rotation on page 10‑71.

GMS Sierra: Tire Rotation. Use this rotation pattern when rotating the tires if the vehicle has single rear wheels.
