How do YOU guys........ - Land Rovers Only

RageRover · 03-13-2006, 12:46 PM

..........rotate your tires? Now that the new stuff is on my wheels. I've been told all these different ways of rotating truck rubber around. Like I'll hear, "well it depend on the rubber, or depends on the driveline, rotate one front to the rear of the same side, and the same for the other side." Then I'd hear, "no that's wrong, rotate your front to your rear, on the other side, yada yada yada." I'm like what?!?!

:

Now I know we all have permanent four wheel drive, but how would you guys do it? I feel stupid just asking a so simple question, LOL.

I just do front to rear...same side!!

RageRover · 03-13-2006, 12:50 PM

That is what I was originally leaning to, also!

rmuller · 03-13-2006, 12:56 PM

What about rotating the spare into the mix?

On a AWD or full time 4wd that is the only way to do it! Unless of course your looking for differential problems down the road.

RageRover · 03-13-2006, 03:36 PM

I see, and about my spare; well er, um.......it is an XPC that is 205/80 in size.

I wouldn't wanna throw that in there. I will have to find another 255/65 to replace it with, like another cheapy.

Do not mix tread patterns( on the street) on your truck either! It can make for a gravy making driving experiance in the rain or snow.

WCURoverD90 · 03-14-2006, 02:09 PM

From day one i have always been told to just do front to rear, same side....Thats what i have always done and never had any problems

rmuller · 03-14-2006, 02:17 PM

I was more of asking the forum in general what they do about spare

I have to rotate my tires soon and have a new spare that I want to mix into it.

WCURoverD90 · 03-14-2006, 02:18 PM

I don't do my spare and have actually not heard of too many people putting it in the mix.....just my $0.02
