Jeep Liberty: Tire Rotation Recommendations
The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at different loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates.
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 maintain mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross” shown in the following diagram. This rotation pattern does not apply to some directional tires that must not be reversed.
Tire Rotation
CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends
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.
Tire Chains
Use only compact chains, or other traction aids that meet
SAE type “Class S” specifications. Chains must be the
