I rotate my tires every oil change and I've always done the front right to back right or vice versa rotation. The only reason I rotate like this is because I heard rotating them from front right to back left or vice versa to be bad on the metal bands inside them. Now I have my front right tire always wearing faster than the others so my right side is worn a little further then the tires on the left.
Is this wire band thing a myth? Can I rotate them any way I want?
I've been rotating mine at like 20,000 miles. I think the place I take it to does the cross rotation though where they flip sides and front to back. So far good even wear.
I can see the cords "laying" one way and causing trouble... if you let them go to long before you rotate them. If you dont rotate them often, I would keep them on the same side. My first rotation I criss cross, then front to back, then criss cross, then front to back and so on... and never had a bit of trouble :confused013:

I criss cross my tires per owner's manual specs every 10,000 miles no matter what kind of tire I'm running. I always get even wear and maximum mileage results. Been doing this for years on all my vehicles.
