tire rotation

Don't agree with front to back, back to front tire rotation.

 

Ok.

 

Don’t do it that way then. I cross my rear tires to the front and the fronts straight back.

 

My tires rotate themselves.

weird tho, when I drive forward they rotate back to front.

but when I backup they rotate front to back.

is this normal?

 

Don't agree with not agreeing

 

And your point is ?

 

But no extra charge to lube your chassis linings...

And I cross the backs to the front

 

And what is the basis for this startling revelation?

 

Yes/no/maybe...!

 

I want to shop where they base tire rotation on number of cylinders. I'll bring my 6cyl diesel dually an only have to pay $10 more. It makes perfect sense that a f-150 with a v8 would cost you $10 more than one with a eco boost. I mean the v8 must have at least 4 more tires rotate.

 

What about directional tires?

Thats a pretty specific scenario where you cant cross them (without remount and balance)

 

Well, that makes you in the majority. I've never seen it done that way.

 

Crooked back, straighten up. (I.e., front tires go back to the rear on the opposite side, and the back tires go straight up).

 

I like to change out my muffler bearing when I rotate my tires. It's that peace of mind that gets me a good nights rest

 

I’ll agree to disagree

 

When I rotate my tires I go back tires straight up to the front and front tires crossed to the back.

 

There is a right way to do things, and there is an Army way to do the same things.

This is common knowledge.

 

Strong opening, convincing arguments, supporting facts.. I want to believe!

 

Here’s a really crazy idea. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations. Silly me thinking the engineers that designed it know more than a guy in a wife beater and holding his beer as he holds forth on proper maintenance procedures.
