Can I rotate the tires on this car I just recently got it about 15,000 miles ago and I am changing oil and filter and am not sure about how or even if I can rotate these tires like a normal car?

I read a couple places on line saying that I could and of course other sites saying that I couldn't because they were direction or something to that matter. Then I also read that the only way to rotate tires on this car is to take it to the shop and get taken off and moved to a new rim and balanced. (Which I hope is not the case). Anyways what is the solution?

Hello,

Look on the sidewall of the tires. If there is anything that says rotation with an arrow pointing in one direction [and if there is hopefully it's pointing towards the front of your car] or anything resembling that then your vehicle has directional tires and can only be rotated front to back, not side to side. If there is nothing resembling that on the sidewall then they are not directional tires and can be rotated from front to back and side to side. The correct way to rotate non directional tires is the front tires to the rear and rear tires to the front with the tires switching sides. If you are unsure you can google that tire brand and make and see if it is directional or not.

Thanks,
Alex
