CAUTION: Vehicles with A/S (all season) front and A/T (all terrain) rear tires can only be rotated side to side. Dual rear wheel vehicles should have only the front tires rotated side to side.Section 04-04: Wheels and Tires | 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty Chassis Cab, F-Super Duty Motorhome Chassis and Bronco Workshop Manual |
To equalize tire wear, tires may be rotated, but not until the cause of unusual or uneven tire wear is determined and corrected. Rotation is recommended first at 8000-12000 km (5,000-7,500-mile) intervals and 24000 km (15,000 miles) thereafter.
CAUTION: Vehicles with A/S (all season) front and A/T (all terrain) rear tires can only be rotated side to side. Dual rear wheel vehicles should have only the front tires rotated side to side.
NOTE: All season and all terrain tires may show irregular tire wear if tires are not rotated regularly.
NOTE: Typical rotation patterns are shown. Many other rotation patterns are acceptable, however a single pattern should be consistently used to maximize the tread life of a tire set.
