Performance Performance tires provide greater traction and responsiveness than standard passenger tires. Almost all performance tires are speed rated . Tires on light trucks should be rotated at least every 5,000 miles. Inherent top sway with these vehicles can cause accelerated 'cupped' wear if not properly maintained by consistent rotation and proper air pressure . With passenger tires you get a little more slack to work with but on the average 5,000 mile rotations are a good standard to go by.
Proper rotation is almost as important as proper air-pressure.
Whatever the vehicle, check tires periodically for early detection of irregular wear . If you see irregular wear, rotate the tires after determining the cause and correcting any misalignment , balance or contributing mechanical problem . For a tire to run true, the combined weight of the tire and wheel assembly must be distributed uniformly. A heavy spot in the tire and wheel assembly must be counterbalanced by precision-made wheel weights. Improper balance could lead to cupping and excessive wear of the tread at the heavy spot.
