Tire Rotation

Today in the shop I double checked my balance on my tires and was going to rotate them and another kid had the bright idea to mess them all up so I wasn't sure which tire was where to start with. If everything is properly balanced I shouldn't have too many issues should I?

You need to make sure that you got similar tires (wear) on the axles, if the tires aren't very close. I mean, my front tires worn slightly differently than the rear ones (OK, maybe I didn't rotate them often enough ) and now I have to make sure that my tires always get rotated in pairs because they are slightly different.

If the tread wear is similar, you should have no problems. If you are like me, you'll wear the rears much quicker than the fronts due to excessive use of the skinny pedal.

I drive mainly like an old man, the tread looked exactly the same on all 4's. These tires have a little over 5k on them, so I think I will be alright for now or no?
