Does anyone know why the owner's manual states that tire rotation "must" be front to back and back to front (keeping the wheels on the same side of the car)? I've always preferred criss-crossing (front to back and back to opposite side front).
Sounds like a lot of work. Many dlrs will include tire rotation in 5K service for free or small charge. Ck it out. It does seem to be good practice to rotate every 5K.rpm said:yikes, I just rotated my tires myself using the car's jack...that'll give you a workout. Had to jack up each side 3 times, using the donut tire as a filler. I decided to rotate because I was at 5k miles, and was jacking up the rear anyway to install the mud flaps. At least when I buy mounted Blizzaks this fall, I'll only have to jack up each side twice.

I too rotated my tires this weekend. However, I went to Pep Boys and bought a hydrualic jack, jack stands, and wheel chocks. They had a special all-in-one kit that also included a creeper. All for $29. Best $29 I ever spent.rpm said:yikes, I just rotated my tires myself using the car's jack...that'll give you a workout.

Is a creeper one of those little pastel fleece suits with the footies and a bunny on the front next to the zipper? $29 for a set of jacks and a creeper with a bunny is definitely a bargain!dgstan said:... They had a special all-in-one kit that also included a creeper.
You know, I'm sure you think you're funny, but it's not a bunny.Sanny said:Is a creeper one of those little pastel fleece suits with the footies and a bunny on the front next to the zipper? $29 for a set of jacks and a creeper with a bunny is definitely a bargain!dgstan said:...
