Bill, Sorry about that. I did not realize they were arguing for rotation. Regardless of auto make, I think any front wheel drive car has to rotate to extend tire life. The every 5K to 7K rotation period is pretty much what people are following. I had always been taught that front to back same side rotation was the way to go, especially if you had uni-directional tires. But I guess the time and technology change. I have read and seen a few articles and instructions indicating cross rotation is okay as well...As an example the left front would go to the left rear on the first rotation. On the next rotation the left rear would go to the right front and the tire on the right rear would go to the left front. I personally like front to back without the crossover.
