Tire rotation?

Any pointers on when to rotate tires?

I am running 22" staggered. Guessing I would have to dismount the tire from wheel and flip them?

Help please!

Don't bother. Don't rotate.

If your tires are non directional you can swap them side to side. There are others on this forum who do this.

Maybe you meant directional tires, if it's non-directional he could place the tires any where. If its directional then he could only do side to side then again if it's staggered that just looks funny if you rotate them from side to side. He'll have some fat tires up front since he's got a staggered set up. It would look like those FWD dragsters lol.

hmmm... i am pretty sure the tires are non directional. But I will take a look. I guess it may just be to my benefit to run them out and buy a new tire....=/
