Re: Jeep 4-tire rotation
This is true, but directional tires on passenger vehicles are getting to be
a thing of the past. Even my John Deere riding mower has non-directional turf tires.

Re: Jeep 4-tire rotation
My TJ owners manual calls for a 4 tyre rotation.
Rear tyres go to front tyres, no crossing. Front tyres go to rear tyres, with crossing. Section 22-4 of the FSM if any one is interested.

4-tire rotation: right rear to right front right front to left rear left rear to left front left front to right rear In the early days of radial tires there were some problems when using this method, but for the last 20 years or so, this has been one of the accepted methods, and it works great. No problems running modern radial tires on either side of the vehicle, as long as they are rotated regularly. This does not apply to uni-directional tires, which must be kept on the same side of the vehicle. I personally use this 5-tire rotation pattern, and have used it for years with good results: spare to right rear right rear to right front right front to left rear left rear to left front left front to spare A regular 5-tire rotation will give you about 25% more miles out of your tires. There are many good rotation patterns, but the important thing is that you stick with one pattern and rotate every 5 or 6000 miles. If you change your oil every 3000 miles, then it's easy to remember to rotate every other oil change.

Re: Jeep 4-tire rotation
Hi Mike,
That's the only way I will rotate tires, they stay on one side. Not many years ago I replace two BFGoodrich AT KOs, and of course wanted them on the same axle which meant reversing one of the oringinal tires with over halt the tread left. That tire exploded with massive tread sparatetion in less than a thousand miles.
