X rotating

[lowtideride]

Well I have to rotate my tires, because it's that time agian. Anywho, should I rotate in an X or just move the front left tire to the rear left?

thanks,

thought it would be a good idea since I have to check my wheel bearings anyway.

Are you going to rotated in the spare? If not I'd rotate X, if you are I'd still rotate in the x fashion but swap one out with spare.

Just put mine back on after I had it on jacks painting her. Forgot to mark where they came from, so its a mystery rotation. I've heard radials are supposed to always spin the same direction which limits rotating to only switching front to back - any truth to that?

Front to back Jose!

A trusted tire geek once told me that even directional tires can be run backwards. The tread is only there for evacuating water and such, so the 'tire itself' doesn't care if you run it backwards or forwards.

My tires are not directional, and so I do the 5 point circle rotation.

I still have to shoot the hood, lift gate and the new (used) tailgate. I'm guessing mid-to late next week before she's ready for a photo op.
