Hmmm ... how do I rotate my tires?
Should I take them off the rims and have them remounted on the diametricly opposed wheels (or just front to back),
and then do you take the wheel weights off when doing so or just add more to rebalance?

I just rotate front to back. No need to remove wheel weights or have them re-balanced unless you feel they have become unbalanced.

It depends if they have a directional tread pattern or not i.e. left side must stay left side. There are a bunch of tires that are like this.
I wouldn't remove/remount them.
Rebalancing is always a good idea. If you have tape weights - take them off ...including the adhesive with something like goo-gone and start again.

diametricly oposed.
I just pay $10 and get the tyre shop to rotate and balance. Quick, easy and cheap while i wait in air conditioned comfort catching up on the latest issue of Fast Fours.
Are you sure if you take the wheel weights (do you mean the weights used to balance tyres?) off and put them back on in the wheels new location, would this be an accurate balance?

Re: Hmmm ... how do I rotate my tires? (zygspeed)
Thanks guys, but I'm afraid this was a "joke" on my part that's gone bad.
Unfortunately I made it sound too "reasonable" a question.
Just that with all the questions that I've seen here lately that seem quite silly to me,
thought I'd try and add to the silliness in my own "special" way.
Though, I do need to get these Dunlops on the SSRs one of these days before the Expo.

I think they used to recommend that for older bias ply tires.
