Step-by-step video walkthrough for this procedure
With the vehicle on the ground, use a lug wrench to break loose (but not remove) all lug nuts on all four wheels. Turn each nut about 1/4 turn counterclockwise.
Lift the vehicle with a floor jack and place jack stands at all four corners. Ensure the vehicle is stable and level before proceeding.
Finish removing the lug nuts and pull each wheel off. Place them near the position they'll be moving to based on the rotation pattern.
For most front-wheel-drive vehicles: move front tires straight to the rear, and rear tires cross to the opposite front. For rear-wheel-drive: reverse this pattern.
Mount each wheel, thread lug nuts hand-tight, then lower the vehicle. Torque lug nuts in a star pattern to the spec in your manual (typically 80–100 ft-lbs for passenger cars).
Use a quality tire pressure gauge to check all four tires plus the spare. Inflate to the PSI listed on the driver's door jamb sticker — not the number on the tire sidewall.
