2016 Toyota Rav4-Hybrid Tires in Jacksonville, FL

The published maintenance schedule for this model calls for wheel and tire rotation every 5,000 miles. An inspection may also be appropriate when wear or vibration appears between scheduled visits.

• Tread depth is measured on all four tires.
• Uneven wear can prompt an earlier inspection.
• The rotation follows the drivetrain and tires fitted.

The rotation uses the pattern specified by the manufacturer for the vehicle’s drivetrain and the tires fitted. The inspection also helps determine whether rotation or replacement is the more appropriate recommendation.

• All four tires receive a tread-depth measurement.
• Pressure is set to the vehicle placard specification.
• The monitoring system is reset after pressure service.

Directional tread and staggered fitments change how tires may be moved between positions. Because the vehicle’s drivetrain configuration is not established by the engine information alone, the technician should verify the vehicle and tire setup before selecting the pattern.

• Directional tread can limit tire movement.
• Staggered fitments can change the rotation approach.
• The manufacturer-specified pattern should guide service.

An inspection can compare tread across the set and identify uneven wear or a tire that has reached its wear indicator. On an all-wheel-drive vehicle, mismatched tread depth can load the driveline, so the answer differs from a two-wheel-drive vehicle; the vehicle configuration should be confirmed before replacement decisions.

• Compare tread wear across all four positions.
• Check the moulded tread-depth wear indicators.
• Use the vehicle and tire setup to guide replacement.

Vibration at highway speed and tread wearing unevenly across the set are also reasons to request tire service. A technician can measure all four tires and recommend rotation or replacement based on the observed condition.

• Look for a tread-depth indicator level with the tread.
• Use a penny test as a general wear check.
• Report vibration or uneven tread wear during booking.

The visit includes tread measurement on all four tires, rotation in the manufacturer-specified pattern, pressure adjustment, and a monitoring system reset. Service specials can also be reviewed before selecting an appointment.
