Default Rotating of Tires

I know there are several views on tire rotation.And really we only have one choice. Left to right,right to left.Since the rears or wider then the front.

Anyway my 09 just hit 10,500 and my tire shop doesn't charge for tire rotation so i thought couldn't hurt so i had it done just for kicks.

luckily all tires had even wear on all of them. i know it won't help any but i was bored. going to see if i can get 25,000 on the stock 19in Bridgestones.

Is that a special feature you paid for or does that come standard?

Might want to retorque ure lugs.

I hate letting tire stores do rotations cause they usually use impacts only and not torque to spec. Usually they over torque quite a bit.

lug torque is good point. but how about making sure they don't rotate back to front. bet its happened before. or messing up the rims.or just being concerned about my car. i don't track so double checking the torque was
low on my list. even though i watched them do it. did they do it to spec?
can't say. but after car was lowered they did use a torque wrench.

yah, i was just teasing. good to hear they used a torque wrench at the end. i suggest you re-torque it though as lugs can back-out (not as bad as lug centric lugs but just to be sure).
