time to rotate the OEM Toyos. I usually jack each side, swap front to rear... then jack the front and swap them. However, some people dont think you should do the side to side swap, just front to back. I know the toyos are not directional, but whats best? especially with all the belt breakdown I've heard everyone having (mostly winter tho).

You call that advice? ha!

I know what the manual says. the Ford manual tells people to inflate their tires to 26 psi too, look what that gets them!

I just wondered if people swapped sides, not everyone does regardless of the manual. Also, the manual doesnt really cover different brands and i dont have the tire pamphlet anymore. no big whoop, just coffee talk....
