Tire Rotation?

2kaccordocoupe · 03-21-2010, 07:21 PM

Question for you all... Do you folks rotate your OEM summer tires when putting them back on? Obviously with the staggered setup you cannot rotate front to back.

Swap the fronts and swap the rears from the corner you had them on previously? Just curious as I was looking at my tires and noticed that they are not directional. Thanks.

Yes, Yes I do! If they are non-staggered then it is ok.

Even if it is a staggered set up you can still switch them left to right.

Nice, thanks. I polished and waxed my wheels yesterday. Going back on the car this week

While doing that I noticed the tread was asymmetric and the rubber marking were only noted as OUTSIDE and INSIDE. No rotation direction arrows so it got me thinking I should probably rotate them when I put them back on.
