Rotating tires -- Procomp directional treads
 

Hey guys,

Love my new 31" Procomp XT's...lookin meaner than those sissy stock tires ;)

Anyhow, I'm coming up to a mileage point where I should rotate tires.
I'd like to bring in my spare too....but seeing as the front left tire would
go to the right rear, how can you do this if you can't flip the tire around
(to keep the IN-side of the rim towards the jeep)??

Rims are American racing 797's.

Re: Rotating tires -- Procomp directional treads
 

You follow the book rotation for the CJ7 or for bias ply tires and keep
them on one side.

The spare goes to the right rear, which is the main wear or drive tire,
the RR goes to the RF and the RF goes to the spare. The left side tires
just swap back and front.

This will make for even wear over the life ot the tires.

their side just like mike said.
