What do you guys think about changing the direction of rotation ie: put wheel on other side, when rotating your tires, to even out wear, like the
manual says. Tires in Sig.

I have always thought it was best to keep them turning the same way or may be that was old shool in the days of cross ply tires etc.

Thanks

My truck had directional tires so that is a no go for me. I just rotate them front to back and I have had no problems.

Doesn't matter with radial tires, unless they are directional tires like physco66 has.
Sometimes I swap cross corner or front-rear. On my new truck I'm still running the OEM Bridgstone Duravis whatever crap they put on it. May quit rotating them so they will cup out so bad that I have to get new tires sooner. 27+K on them and they don't show any wear :mad: And I've only rotated them once.
I think my stimulus check will end up with BFG. :D
