I rotated the tires in a way I thought was just fine, but then looked at the diagram to find a different recomended way.

I have 225/55R/16 Yokohama YK420s


Is it alright to rotate my tires the way I did it?


I don't really think it matters, but what do you think?

it depends on if the tire is directional or not....if it is you have to keep it on the same side that it was on. you should be fine if they arent directional....but i would make sure.

The YK420 is non-directional

I guess I am fine then, because the YK420 is a non directional tire.

Thanks

Should be fine what you did but you know the other way is what has been recommended with radials for years now!!

I guess, I will take them off, and do it right.

This is recomended for real wheel drive cars:



Too bad I have to wait a week.
