Chevrolet Colorado Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval
Steps from the 2026 Chevrolet Colorado owner's manual.
- Rotate the tires at the interval listed in the maintenance schedule, and inspect the brake pads for wear while doing so.
- Rotate tires as soon as possible if unusual wear is noticed, and check inflation pressure and for damaged tires or wheels.
- Use the rotation pattern shown in the manual, and leave the spare tire out of the rotation.
- Adjust front and rear tires to the pressure on the Tire and Loading Information label after rotating.
- Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor System.
- Check that all wheel nuts are properly tightened.
- Lightly coat the inner diameter of the wheel hub opening with wheel bearing grease.
- The first rotation is the most important.
- The rotation pattern is shown in a diagram that is not included in the text, so the tire-to-position moves are not stated.
- If unusual wear continues after rotation, check the wheel alignment.
