    Hey guys,

    I have a set of BFG KO2's on my truck now with 5k miles on them. I know I am do for a rotation and I want to do it myself. My questions is... which way to you (owners of KO2's or other beefy tires) rotate your tires? Just back to front, front to back? Or do you cross them? or does it really matter??

    thanks for the help! hope this isn't a dumb question

    KO2's are no different than any other non-directional tire. For cars/trucks with rear-wheel drive, move the front tires to the opposite sides of the rear: left-front to right-rear and right-front to left-rear. The rear tires are moved straight forward. Here’s how it looks visually:

    And if you're curious on vehicles with front-wheel drive, just do the opposite. Move the rear tires to the opposite sides of the front and move the front tires straight back.

    I was able to track down a useful K02 rotation graphic as well:
