Front to back and vice versa only. At least every 3-5K miles.

eddieboyII · Jun 9th, 2004, 02:09 PM

tnx... is it cross rotation or juz the same side?

Rotate tires every Oil change, 3,000 to 5,000 depending on your driving style. and most tires are directional, so just front to rear & rear to front.

If your on an economy drive certainly rotate your tires, but be aware that this will most likely upset your cars handling.

Not if you do it often enough, as stated above.

32psi is a little low but a bit more comfy. I run 35 front and 37 rear.

For me, I carry stuff in the back sometimes. Makes the back move around quicker in turns too.
