Every time you see more wear on your front tires than your rears.

Also what should you do if you have directional tires? 'Cause it seems like all you can do is move the front to the back and vice-versa since putting them on the other side would make them rotate the wrong way. Is that enough, or should you actually, unmount, switch, and then re-mount and balance the tires so you can switch them to the other side for rotation?

check with your tire manufacture to see when is the proper time to rotate the tire. Depends on the tire size, as with mine which are 215/35/18 Toyo Tires they recommend every 3000 miles to rotate. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Curryman: Front to back is fine, thats the way we do all rotations at Discount Tire
Matrix: We reccomend every other rotation, or anytime you feel a vibration. If you aren't feeling a vibration, they should be fine.

Peace

The guy told me at 5K to come in and they would rotate them. But I forget what he said after that.
