Rotating tires
As per the maintenance schedule, it's time for me to rotate the tires. What pattern is used? How tight do I make the nuts when I put them back on? Any good words of wisdom, before I trash my car?

RE: Rotating tires
Make an X pattern-left rear to right front etc... According to my manual they should be 100 ft lbs. You need a torque wrench for this-do not guess and assume they are tight enough if you are not familiar with tightening bolts.
Goto Sears for the wrench with the pointer indicator-it is less money than the adjustable.
Good Luck.

RE: Rotating tires
Woa, I thought so too.... those darn pirellis are directional, or so im told. Its from front to back, keeping them on the SAME side. Normally i would use the better X pattern, but the stock pirrellis are a load of bs.... the torque reading, the dealer should know or hopefully someone on here does, sory.
