Just rotate them front to back and keep them on the same side of the car because they are directional tires. Dont forget to re-adjust your pressure when your done. Its as simple as that.

 

Yup! Thats good advise. Heres an example:

 

wow


thanks for the quick reply guys

i heard people say u need to take the tires off the wheel and don't rotate the wheels......

anyway i will just take off the wheels and rotate them back to front

this doesnt deal with rotating tire but i read that ur new to the awd and i work in a tire shop so i thought i would let u know something very important. NEVER replace one tire, with an awd car the tread for all 4 tires must be very close in tread depth or u can blow out ur transfer case. just htought id let u know

 

thanks

i just found out today that my front sidewalls are gone and my car only has 2800miles on it.

so it might be time for me to rotate the tires

Check your air pressures as well

 

31 front and 29 rear

i drive the car hard!!!

 

Don't forget to torque down the lug nuts in a star pattern and w/ a torque wrench. Factory lug nut torque spec is 73 +/- 7 ft-lbs. Uneven lug nut torqing could lead to warped brake rotors.

 

What's the lug size?
