How do u guys rotate your tires - Honda Prelude Forum

HVL · 01-17-2002, 01:41 PM

the front tires go to back, and the back go to front. Or do u use the crisscross method like in the manual. Front tires go back and Left back goes to Front right, Right back go to Left front vice versa. Thanks for help.

I just do front to back. Don't understand Y it has to be criss-crossed either?

I just got front-to-back. You can cross them but you have to be careful about your type of wheels and tires. Some wheels and/or tires are directional and can only be put on one side. Unless you dismounted the tire from the rim and reversed them. But I dont think I'm going to do that.

The SH wheels can be on either side. The base wheels (I believe) are directional. Aftermarket is ?

This is with base stock rims and tires

your wheels are directional and can only be rotated front to rear. There are even little letters (L,R) on the inside of your wheels to tell you which side they belong on.

they are directional, go front and back.

i didnt even notice that the dealer did it for me on my 15k maintance. they rotate it from front to back, cause my right front rim was scartched but now its in the back

They did the crisscross on my rotation on the directional wheel. Is going to damage my car anyhow? Thank you

The base rims just look dumb when not rotated properly but no problems will occur. A directional tire rotated incorrectly will give you unpredictable handling, especially in the rain.
