Tire Rotation?

I was wondering how often you guys rotate your tires? Im young, and dont wanna save myself as much money as I can. Also, I received 2 Manual's on my truck. One is the SVT Manual, and the other is just the Regular F-150 Manual. They have 2 different diagrams for rotating. Do you guys rotate the fronts to back and backs to front, or do you rotate the fronts to the back, and the backs crossed over to the front?

Thanks - Mike

you can't really cross rotate these because they are directional..I rotated them at 4500 miles

Would rotating my tires every 2,000 miles be stupid?

i would say, just watch your tire pressure and make sure it's aligned properly and rotate them every 4-5K for best tread life...

that's my .02

Hey Boostin,

These 2 10" Pioneer's are perfect for the styles of music I listen to. Im mainly a rock/punk fan. On ocassion I listen to some rap. But the 2 10"s and custom box sound great. Id recommend them. Im going to be purchasing a set of Crystal 6.5" components soon powered by a JBL 180.2 amp. This should make my system sound 100x's better, and I will be even more happy with my sub's. If your gonna get the 2 10"s, id recommend replacing the stock speakers. Or in any case, replace the stock speakers, because they sound like s#!t!. Just my .02!

- Mike

Ummmmm ...

Buy them two at a time ... Burn the backs rotate the fronts
back, then new on the front ...

OR ... You can be like Crazyone and have F1 SLICKS on the back !!!!

Rotation is all on one side .... cause the F1 are directional
radials..... hence the ARROW on the tires ... <grin>
