Default Tire rotation

So this is the first time ive ever owned a truck with 2 different sets of tires.. Some people have said not to rotate from side to side.. and im not going to rotate from front to back.. .. What do you guys think ... This will also be my first set of tires im going to be mature about and not waiste away ..lol

I didnt think it would be a problem to rotate from one side to another.. but ive been wrong before

Truck is 2 wd

rear tires...

Mature would be have all 4 tires the same so you can rotate them properly...I would leave them alone...rotating them side to side does nothing.

If they are non directional tires you will cross the front tires and then mount them on the rear, and move the rear straight to the front. You always cross the non drive tires. If they are directional tires then you can only switch front to back, which is still worth it.

It's also in your owners manual

Look at his tires. They are mud grips on the back and "steer tires" on the front. Wouldn't make much since to put the mud grips on the front of a 2wd.
