Dodge Avenger: Tire rotation recommendations
Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate atdifferent loads and perform different steering, driving,and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear atunequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.
The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile withaggressive tread designs such as those on all season typetires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintainmud, snow and wet traction levels, and contribute to asmooth, quiet ride.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenanceintervals. More frequent rotation is permissible ifdesired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wearshould be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is shown in the followingdiagram.
