Best Answer

Tire rotation is typically conducted in the same pattern for all vehicles.

1. Both back tires are moved to the front on the same sides. The right rear tire becomes the right front, and left rear becomes left front.

2. The front tires switch sides and are moved to the back. The left front tire becomes the right rear tire, and the right front tire becomes the left rear tire.

While persons with the necessary lifting equipment can generally rotate tires without help, it is beneficial to have the tires checked for balance when rotating. Additionally, after a tire rotation, and alignment is highly advisable. Any competent mechanic can handle both operations.
