rotating tires

Ok,

Since we have stock directional wheels what is the best way to rotate the tires on our SVXs?

I find it to be while driving in "D", I can't back up too good.

slightly more serious, stay on the same side, front to back, back to front. Just remember to adjust tire pressures since they aren't at the same value front vice back.

Thumbs up

Everything Lee said is correct.

I did this on my car a month ago. When adjusting the tire pressures, you may want to try 40 psi front and 36 rear. Several members have found that their tires wear more evenly at this inflation as compared to the factory suggested pressures.

Tire pressures depend on the tires, not only the car. General rule is a bit less in the back though. I run 44 front and 40 in the rear.

I was under the impression that tire pressure was based entirely on the car, and what you're doing with it.

Do it about every 5k if you can.
