rotating tires?
when rotating tires, do you just rotate front/back or do you diagonally cross rotate the tires? w/ the directional tires that i have, the diagonally cross rotating technique (or even left/right) would be a pain.
i've also read that the rear tires wear out faster. do you usually rotate front/back to alleviate this? or are you just buying more rear tires as they wear out?

If all 4 tires are the same size, we do a front-to-back swap with no diagonal crossing. If the tires are two different sizes front and back, we don't rotate the tires, unless the tread is bi-directional, then we do a side-to-side swap.
