Rotating tires?

[eliyarbrough]

It's OK to do this twice, right? The 1st time I had like 5,700 miles on them. Just added up this round, like 6,700. I've never had tires long enough to do it twice. Thanks!!

yea if they are the same size all around, rotate front to back and back to front on the same sides and tires should be rotated every 6k

Yep, I can't afford to have different sizes. I do it this way so I can prolong me having them. Thanks!!

They are directional though. Move fronts to back & stuff.

yep, front to back if directional. Non drive wheels criss-cross sides and drive wheels move up(if a RWD) . Cars like mine and lots of other members have to tough it out as I have directional tires, and wider tires on front then back, so they stay on the same axle until they burn out .

I do mine every other oil change, tire rotations are a big deal to me after working at the tire shop and seeing the amount of tires that are replaced early due to no rotation

the schedule should be...

oil change every 3000
rotation every 6000
balance and align every 14000 OR every 6 months
