Toyo M/T FYI
I was talking to a guy today who used to work for Toyo tires and he told me that when I rotate my tires to only go front to back and not to switch sides with them. Says something about the way they are designed and the way they wear. Says they last longer if you dont change the direction that they rotate even though they are not directional tires. so anywho, just some FYI in case anyone has these tires and wants them to last longer.

I haven't rotated across since my old bias-ply tires in 1984

radials are always front to back
