Tire Rotation

So heres a dumb question. What is the proper way to rotate your tires?

Driver side front goes to Rear Pass? and vice versa? Or am I way off?

I usually have Mitsu do it on services but I am just gonna do it myself today, I have some free time...

rear driver to front driver. rear passanger to front passanger. You can;t switch sides, cause of directional rotation tires.

Dont the tires rotate themselves everytime you drive the car?

j/k



General rule for all cars is cross the drive axle wheels to the other axle and bring the non driven ones straight forward or backwards to the driven axle.
With AWD cross both axles to each other like an X except with the evo the tires are directional so you can only move them front to back , unless you want to take the tires off of the wheels and remount them

just be glad you can rotate them at all since all 4 wheels and tires are the same size and dimensions ,unlike a corvette or 911 , where you cant rotate at all.
