How to Rotate Tires on a Nissan Maxima
- 1). Loosen the lug nuts on each tire with a lug nut wrench.
- 2). Stick a block of wood behind the back tires to keep the car from rolling while you jack up the front of the car. Tire rotation is best done on a flat surface as well.
- 3). Place two jacks under the front of the vehicle, one on each side and jack up the car, leaving just enough room to take off tires. Lift the rear up on the other two jack stands.
- 4). Use an "X" pattern each time you rotate the tires. Move the passenger side rear tire to the front, and passenger side front to driver side rear. Switch driver side rear tire to the front and driver side front to passenger side rear.
- 5). Tighten the lug nuts by hand so the tires will stay on.
- 6). Lower the rear first and replace the wood behind the tires. Lower the front end and then go around and tighten each lug nut with the lug nut wrench to its tightest fit.
