Re: Tire Rotation
 
Most of them do not recommend that anymore. And none of them suggest that
not crossing them is a bad thing.

There is nothing wrong with crossing them unless there is a specific reason
not to, ie.: directional tires. But when there is any doubt, there is
nothing wrong with keeping the left tires on the left side and the right
tires on the right side. Many automakers these days suggest that rotating
tires is not necessary at all. If one has to ask, what is the correct way to
rotate tires, this person can be told to keep them on the same side and
he'll get through his life just fine.

Re: Tire Rotation
 
The first two brands I checked, BFG and Michelin, still recommends
cross-rotating their tires. They even give a cool little animation of
how to rotate tires at http://www.michelinman.com/care/tip2.html with
BFG having a similar animation.

I have rotated my radial tires in the following 5-tire rotation pattern for
about 15 years, with absolutely NO problems:

spare to RR
RR to RF
RF to LR
LR to LF
LF to spare
