    Car tire rotation.

    I need to rotate the tires on my wife's Nissan Murano.
    Can I just put the front two in the back and vice-versa or should I cross swap them? I don't know if I'm making myself clear...
    Let me elaborate.
    Can I move the left front to the left back position, or do I need to take the tire off the rim and swap the left front for the rear back one?
    Thanks.

    I always do front to back. I have heard that the belts set and reversing them is not a good idea. In the old days of bias ply I criss crossed.

    Re: Car tire rotation.

    Keeping the tire on the same side is a lot easier since I wouldn't have to change tires and rims... I'll check tonight to see if they're bidirectional or not.

    Re: Car tire rotation.

    Sheep is correct. Most manuals these days say NOT to crisscross radial ply tires, as they will develop uneven wear patterns and the belts can shift.

    Re: Car tire rotation.

    I had to shift my belt a few minutes ago after a trip to the bathroom.
    I feel so much better now.
    But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.

    I actually had some pull through the face of a tire years ago. Though it may have been exceeding the speed rating

    I 2nd that. Never criss-cross radial tires (and what else is there these days). Always front to back.
    If some is good.......then more must be better.

    Somehow I doubt that.
    I changed all four tires a few thousand miles ago and the front ones are much more worn than the ones in the back.
