Default 5 wheel rotation
Anyone have a diagram of how a 5 wheel tire rotation is done?

I always kept a diagram in my glove box, and the last time I rotated my tires, I took it in somewhere to have it done. They didn't know how to do the rotation, so I handed them my diagram from my glove box, and they never gave it back.

Trying to do the rotation myself today and figured I would scrub the inside winter gunk off my wheels while I'm at it.

Just remember to use a torque wrench and retighten after a day. I find mine are a bit loose afterwards, apparently due to aluminum wheels.

I have 10,000 miles on my tires and none on the spare. You think its safe to rotate it in you just leave it until I get 35's?

I did my 1st 5 wheel rotation at 10K miles. Been trying to do it every 5K since. Currently have 35K on mine.

The best thing I like about it is, you only have to jack one wheel at a time.
