How do you guys rotate? Front to back only or cross ways?

Front to back every oil change. 4500-5 k

Front to back cross em over and just bring the back ones straight up.

I did front to back only. I guess I'll start crossing next time. Thanks all.

I don't like crossing. Something about turning the tire different ways just doesn't seem right to me.

You are supposed to to keep them from developing uneven wear patterns. Ask any tire shop how they rotate tires.

I rotate them how ever discount tire does it, which is back to front, and cross front to back.

Any sensible tire shop will tell you to swap the fronts side to side to the rear to help uneven tire wear... That's what I was always told..

They even out when they go on the rear.

I'm not saying you guys are wrong. I've just seen a few blown belts right after a rotation. Tires are the most abused part on the truck. Just not a fan of switching the direction they are twisted.

rotations

fronts swap sides and go to the rear; rears slide straight up to the front. Going to rotate every 2500 miles on the new set of Trail Grapplers... Used to do every 10K, then went to every 5K on my last set of tires (255/85R16 Toyo MT).

Maybe you should buy better tires... Busted belts don't happen from switching the rotation of the tire. They happen because its either a cheap a$$ tire, or they weren't the proper ply rating and the user overloaded them.

I don't know why, but this is one of the few things im lazy about. I'll have a day off and think "I should rotate my tires today" then The Rifleman or Bonanza will come on and im like **** it. I still get 50k out of my tires.
