Tire rotation question...

[fastdrvr23]

Alright guys, I noticed last weekend when rotating my tires (every 3500 miles) that I am getting a little wear on the tread on one "side" more than the other. Not on the entire tire, but on individual peices of tread. Almost like cupping, but nothing near that severe. My previous solution to problems like this on my other vehicles has been to do a True 4-wheel rotation instead of a 2-wheel rotation (same side) like the manual states. I know that the MP3 guys have specific directional tread patterns, but I am wondering if we do on the stock Dunlops on the P5's? It sure doesn't look like it to me.. No arrow indicators, and redundant tread pattern from either direction...

I don't really consider it a problem at this point, as my tires are wearing really evenly for the amount of abuse I throw at them. But anyways, I went ahead and did a 4 wheel rotation just to be safe... Anyone here think of any reason that this would be a good/bad idea? Thanks!

The tread's not directional...until i quit working at the dealership i worked for and lost the use of the rack i was doing the modified X rotation and it worked out fine....never once had an issue. A lot of people still do the standard one side only like you're supposed to with old radials, but the newer radials don't complain and it's acutally better for the tires to have them rotating at all four corners.

Thanks man, that's what I was hoping!
