How do you rotate?

Fisherguy · 09-06-2009, 03:26 PM

Time to rotate my tires, just wondering if most people just do front to back or if you change sides too?

I rotate front to back. The front right goes on back left, and front left goes on back right, and the backs stay on the same side when rotated to the front. Thats the way I do it most of the time anyways

That's what I though, in the old days they only did front to back so the tires are always turning to same direction.

DO NOT CROSS ROTATE. They've done studies and it shows to move front to back and do not cross. Most definitely on a 4X4. But it's your truck:P

really? so just put the tires from the front in the exact same spot on the back, and move the back up to the exact same spot on the front?

Quite a few tires have directional tread and can't be crossed.
