Hey guys,
So I've always wondered about this. How would you go about rotating tires on a baja, or any other off-road vehicle with larger tires in the back and slightly smaller/narrower tires in the front? Just from side to side? This seems like it would be a problem especially with thicker treaded tires. |

| No rotation with different sizes front to rear, just make sure your alignment specs are good. |

| I'm not even going to worry about it when I get new tires. I have 235's up front and 31/10.50 rear. But if you want to side to side is your only choice. I have centerline wheels and don't plan on balancing them either. I don't really see a point to either for an off road car. If you drive alot on freeways than balancing is worth it. |

| Rotation is not an issue. If you are wearing the tires funny, do something about the cause of the improper wear. Alignment/linkpins loose/tire out of balance...Even with swingaxle, I've never in 1/2 a million miles of driving Baja Bugs had a tire wear problem which rotation would have cured. |
