Re: Rotating tires -- Procomp directional treads
Well, 'you' know this, 'I' know this, my Jeeps owners manuals knows
this, but there are a 'whole' pile of people here that think defective
tires are 'normal' and cross rotate anyway like the tire makers
recommend and get quite upset about hearing different.
It is safer to say to 'follow the CJ7 'book' pattern for radials' or any
book pattern for bias ply... They don't own a CJ7 so don't get quite as
offended. LOL!

Re: Rotating tires -- Procomp directional treads
That doesn't apply to standard radials, and hasn't in many years, only
unidirectional radials like the ProComp XTerrain being asked about.
