2007 CLK Tire Rotation.

Since the front and the rear tires are not the same size, how do you rotate your tires?

You can only go lh <> rh if you don't have directional tread tires. I've done this on other vehicles with no problems. Otherwise the tires need to be taken off the rims and re-mounted on the other rim.

Mine comes with Michelin Pilot Primacy and I do not know if they are directional tires? The booklet suggested that the tires be rotated at about 6500 miles.

Look on the sidewall for a directional arrow. The arrow should point in the direction of rotation.

You don't rotate them! Even if you go LH RH it ends up being the same thing unless you take it off the rim and make sure that the inside is now on the outside, but even then it isn't even worth it. With the setup you basically go 2 sets of rear tires for every one front set of tires.

the Piliot Primacy's are not directional, rather, they have an inside and outside. unlike truly directional tires, this type of tire can be swapped right/left without taking the tire off of the rim. There really isn't much of a benefit and it's probably more trouble than it's worth.

Why is there no benefit in rotating this type of tire?
