Our Octy 140 dsg Elegance done 1500o miles on the last set of Bridgestones, now we are coming up to the 30k and there is lots of tread left and i am thinkig of rotating the tyres around. But have heard that they must be only rotated on each side and not crosswise, is there :confused:any truth in this?.

Thats what it says in the manual...

Why would you want to rotate them X wise? I get mine rotated by the garage when i put car in for a service to even up the wear, then get 4 for 3 or whatever deal is going once a year in time for winter.

Only a problem crosswise if they are directional. Can't see a problem otherwise.

I always do an x-rotate (unless directional tread pattern).

On FWD: Lazy axle straight to the front. Drive axle X-Over to the rear. Repeat every 5,000-10,000km.

Very good information about wheels-rims-tires

Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tire Bible Page 1 of 2

On the second page, there is info about rotating tires.

It is a good idea to take a look in the other sections of the site .

The 17" tyres on my Sport are directional, so can only change front to back , and not diagonally.

I've read this before; excellent comprehensive advice.
