Tire Rotation Patterns.

Post by cmhj2000 »

Have seen several discussions on various sites about poor tire wear.My owners manual says to rotate front to rear keeping tires on the same side. Perhaps there are some differences but my base 05 did not come with directional tires.I've recently put on a set of Good Year comfort treds, which made a great ride improvement. My plan is to rotate them in a criss cross or figure 8 pattern, which is also what my tire dealer suggested.Perhaps some that are seeing what in their opion might be accelerated wear should reconsider their rotating patterns.

I am useing the criss crosson my 05 AWD. Tire ware is great so far. My tire guy also said forget the manul front to back. He is a good trusted friend also. if you do the criss cross every tire will be on every axle every forth rotation.
