While beneficial in many ways, tire rotation cannot correct mechanical problems or problems caused by incorrect tire inflation.
* On front wheel drive cars, rotate the tires in a forward cross pattern (fig. A) or the alternative X pattern (fig. B)
* On rear wheel or four wheel drive vehicles, rotate the tires in a rearward cross pattern (fig. C) or the alternative X pattern (fig. B)
* If you car has directional wheels or tires, rotate them as shown in fig D.
* If you car has non-directional tires that are a different size from front to rear, rotate them as shown in fig. E.
