NJ B.S. Thread

I believe I read a thread in the second gen section about this and Mr. Tarantino said at his shop they just do front to back. I don't wanna put words in his mouth though so that answer isn't fact...yet. I just do front to back myself. I've always notice the backs wear different from the front but side to side they seem about the same unless your alignment is junk.

 

fuck those idiots.

front/back / discussion

screw that. did it once and it cost me (4) Goodyear A/T's

This is the preferred method of all people who have had issues before.

Once you fry a set of tires you will believe as well.

I think Standingcow just had his Duratracs go bad from the "X" method.

 

I agree!

^^I do this

 

There is no winning this one. Just people who know first hand because they have had issues and people who got lucky so far doing the X method who also know first hand.

All I have to say is I will LMAO in your face if anyone here does the "X" method and ruins a entire set of 4 tires because we all told you so.

Enjoy your wobble wobble wobble from the belts getting fubar from changing directions on them.

 

Hahaha alright just because Boyd said so I will do front to back from now on I did it on my cars in the past like that...I just thought trucks were suppose to be X method--was told that by some toolbag though

 

Not to mention front to back is wayyyyy easier to do

 

We weren't talking about removing directional tires and resetting the bead, we were talking about normal non directional tires like 95% of the ones on the road today and whether or not you rotate front to back or in an x pattern. Front to back you just jack up one side of the truck at a time where as with an x pattern you pretty much need to lift the truck completely off the ground.

 

Sorry hunter, couldn't resist...

 

in full disclosure this is why i do front to back.

 

+1 for not calling it a rim

 

I can't stand it when people talk about "rims". what about the rest of the wheel?

 

I prefer the Camaro tire rotation method.

Holy shit. That car continues to amaze me.

 

The only thing it can't outrun is the ugly

 

It's not bad minus the splitters.

 

beadlocks ftw

 

as far as tire rotation, I have always done same side front to rear & I don't throw the spare into the mix

 

Not sure which method the shop I go to uses, I am gonna find out though.
