Tire rotation pattern, which do you prefer

Hey .org,

A search shows two tire rotation patterns, which is the correct or better way:

Method A:
FL FR -> RR RL

RL RR FR FL



Method B:
FL FR -> RL RR

RL RR FL FR

thanks
(let's see if someone can beat sprite )

Ya know, I was gonna rotate my tires tomorrow so I decided to do a search to get an idea of which rotation pattern the majority of the org'ers preferred. Bad news is that there just doesn't seem to be a consensus. Thus, I bring back this thread to get your thoughts on which rotation pattern to use when I go to do this tomorrow.

Alright, that's what I was expecting, but with all the disparity in the 10-15 threads I read through, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

I have directional tires, so I have to go front to back on the same side. (a lot easier that way, too)

Directionals here as well and rotation is key in keeping tires the same tread and in good condition
