Rotating Tire....

All 3 of my automobiles have the "directional" type tires where you do not rotate them. On the F-250 with standard 4 tires how often should I rotate and is it just front to back or do you criss cross? All previous trucks for me were F-150's and these larger tires are new to me. I am surprised that the regular manual and tire supplement do not show a tire rotation scheme. Thanks...

Most do what's called a rear cross. The fronts cross on the way back and the rears come straight forward. I do mine every second oil change which is 10k miles for me.

My tire dist. rotates them every 5,000 miles and also rebalances the tires as part of their warranty. I do fronts straight back and rears criss cross going forward.

Excuse me? I absolutely read your post and was the first person nice enough to give you an answer. The owners manual comment was making fun of myself as I had no idea the answer was in the manual. I've never had mine out of my glove compartment. Lighten up brother...

You've only got 10 posts here. If you hang around the site a little more you'll see there are a lot of good people here with good info that also love joking around. Sometimes their humors on the dry side but you'll get to recognize it.
