traffic cop Champion Author Boston Posts:1,239 Points:533,830 Joined:Oct 2004	Message Posted: Dec 4, 2012 10:03:12 AM Ignore traffic cop Report Abuse Yes. Happily, most oil-change places do it as part of a package. Question for experts: I have a 2009 All-wheel-drive Sienna with those (pathetic) run-flat tires. The dealer and auto-change guys say, "Just rotate the fronts-to-rear, rears-to-front, same side only." I have heard a recommendation otherwise to: 1) Move the rears forward, same-side only, then 2) Move the fronts to the OPPOSITE rears (left-front to right-rear, right-front to left-rear). They say This moves every tire to every position over the course of four rotations, and evens out wear. The dealer says this will REVERSE the tire spin which is wrong. Thoughts on the matter?
