When they rotate your tires, do they just go from front to back? I thought when they rotate tires it should be in a "X" rotation?

I just came from the tire shop, and all they did was take the front one's and put them in the rear? Is that the right way, or just a different method? Keep in mind all four of our wheels are the same size

thanks

If you still have the Conti-Extremes, they are directional tires, and can only be rotated on the same side of the car.

if the tires are the same size and uni-directional, they should take the fronts to the rear on the same side, then when they take the rears to the front, they switch sides... so FL->RL, FR->RR, RL->FR, RR->FL.

I don't know about mine... Since I got 225 in the front and 245 in the back... Obviously they won't switch the front with the rears haha.
