Rotating tires?

[Fit95]

I went to the track this weekend (road course) and now need to rotate my tires. The front end wanted to push a little and feathered the outer tread on the fronts. With the factory wheels and tires do we go front to rear on the same side or cross them? :dontknow:

Use a X pattern. Right rear goes to left front, etc.

I had it bookmarked, nice that it came in handy and help us out I wondered if I would ever need it.

sometimes a tire will be slightly different from the rest and cause a pull. you can swap them side to side. this will sometimes get rid of the pull all together. i know not topic at hand, but a little additional information for everyone.

so true, its called radial pull. if you get this, rotate the fronts to the back and it should go away.

rotation

* On front wheel drive cars, rotate the tires in a forward cross pattern (fig. A) or the alternative X pattern (fig. B)
* On rear wheel or four wheel drive vehicles, rotate the tires in a rearward cross pattern (fig. C) or the alternative X pattern (fig. B)
* If your car has directional wheels or tires, rotate them as shown in fig D.
* If your car has non-directional tires that are a different size from front to rear, rotate them as shown in fig. E.
