Quick question, probably stupid considering I mounted my tires and am pretty sure I know the answer to my question...I am going to install my TF Leveling Kit and Spidertrax Wheel Spacers, while I am at it I am obviously going to rotate my tires. The Nitto Terra Grapplers didnt have any markings indicating that any particular tire went on any particular side, the front or back. Am I wrong in thinking that there are some tires that can be mounted on either driver or passenger side, front or back? Or do all tires need to be on a particular side, front or back? When rotating should I just take the front (each side) and swap them with the coinciding rear tire, or do I take the front driver side and place it at the rear passenger and so on?

 

Some tires have a rotational direction, they have arrows on the side walls. the arrows should face the forward direction.

 

Yes, you can run your tires at any location, the only instance you couldn't would be if you had directional tires. Personal preference when it comes to the rotation pattern. I like the 5-tire rotation to get the spare in the mix. Keeps wear even on all and I paid for 5, so might as well use all 5.

 

There are directional tires like Baja Claws that need to be placed on a particular side of the vehicle to keep the tread pattern facing forward. Your tires in particular are non directional and can be rotated using the standard pattern. There are diagrams on the site describing the pattern.

 

Dat's da way uh hu uh hu I like it!

 

Does it matter if you started to the left instead of the right but followed the same rotation with the rears ending up on the front and one of the fronts ending up as your spare?

 

I wouldn't think it would make a difference so long as you rotate the same each time.
