How to Rotate Tires on a Hyundai Sonata
The Sonata is a popular mid-size car that is manufactured by Hyundai. Some people prefer them over to other models because they have great gas mileage and fairly easy to maintain. The car is also a great choice for someone on a budget.
The tires on a Hyundai Sonata should be rotated approximately every 5000 miles to keep the car running smoothly. This is something you can easily do yourself.
- Use a lug nut wrench to loosen the nuts on tires. This should be done before you jack the car up.
- Put a cement block behind the back tires. This is done to keep the car from rolling when you jack up the front.
- Place a jack underneath both sides at the front of the car.
- Jack the car up high enough to remove the tires.
- Place two jack stands at the rear of the vehicle and lift it up.
