i searched and cudnt find much.

in my owners manual it says to rotate the tires one way but im my chiltons it says to do it a diff way. so whats the best way to rotate them?


sorry for the vauge description between the 2 but i cant find either book.

 

I have directional tires so I can only do them from front to back

pepboys messed up "figure e" it is supposed to be side to side, not front to rear... but that probably wont be the case for many preludes.

 

I always do a directional rotation. FL to RR and FR to RL

Well in Clarksville, TN - it'll be raining all day. Strong thunder storms with a high of 73 degrees and a low of 36 degrees. Wind is supposed to be heavy - and you have a 70% chance of rain all day. So, drive slowly and carefully.

 

yes shitty weather all day lol so i guess ill just do a rotational rotational

 

I always did it like this:

Front-Right switch with Back-Left
Front-Left switch with Back-Right

 

thanks

 

The proper way to rotate your tires if they are not directional:

If your car is FWD, Front criss cross to the back, rear str8 to the front

If your car is RWD, Front go str8 to the back, rear criss cross to the front

This is what we were told in automotive school I went to, they even had a poster on the wall showing you "the correct way to rotate your tires."

 

may sound retarded but how do i know if the tires on it are directional? i cudnt find anything on the side of the tire. and i didnt buy the tires

 

It will say RIGHT for the psgr side and LEFT for the drivers side. Most will have some type of arrow or design that will give you a hint in which way the tire should spin.
