Searched, and also never seen this talked about.
How do you rotate the tires?? With low annual mileage, do we need to? What do you do? |

IIRC Bill, it's every 5K miles (or 8K), & do same side front to back rotation for directional tread radials - not the "X" LF to RR & RF to LR & LR & RR forward - otherwise for non-directional treads you can do either. I think they show it in your owners manual too, or use the ones in the nailed threads on here.

Doing the x pattern is for bias ply tires only. The 914 owners manual was made when bias ply were the most common tires available. |
