I have a 2004 LC bone stock, cranked torsion bars, no running boards and LTX MS 2's 265/75/R18's. I know discount just switches the fronts from drivers side to passenger side and does the same with the rear.

Is this the best rotation sequence for these vehicles or should I be cross rotating front to back?

I did a quick search on this site and did not find anything that helped.

Thanks in advance.
 
If you have no running boards, you will need to reverse the sequence recommended by the manufacturer.
 
That makes no sense, maybe you were making a joke about no running boards.

I know the owners manual says move front to back and back to front but is this the best way? I do not rotate my spare in, just the four tires that are on the ground

I use the "Rearward Cross" rotation recommended by TireRack:

What if you don't have a spare in the rotation? Then what's the best method?
 
I like this one:

Hi Gaijin,
so what will be the swap cycle if you have 2 factory spares (same type)? Also at what mileage this tire swap is recommended? I'm at 10,000Km now. Thanks

Use this one, just add a second spare:

So the rotation would be:

Spare 1 > RR > RF > LR > LF > Spare 2 > Spare 1

The more aggressively you drive, the more often you should rotate; but if you rotate every 10,000 km you should be fine.

Thanks Gaijan
