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.

Yes, this is the second oil change since the tires were mounted and they
are non-directional. I like the 4 tire rotation. No reason except it is
simple enough for even my dealer to get right. ;-) And I re-torque when
I get home. Wasn't it Ronald Reagan that said "Trust, but verify."?
:-) Thanks all!

Yes he did, but he said it in Russian! I love that quote and wish I
could say it in Russian like President Reagan.
