To equalize the wear and help extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that you
rotate your tires according to the main-
tenance schedule. (For scheduled main-
tenance information, please refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) Howev-
er, the most appropriate timing for tire
rotation may vary according to your
driving habits and road surface condi-
tions.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or at
least both front or rear tires be re-
placed as a set.

An unbalanced wheel may affect vehicle

therefore be balanced occasionally.
