Tire rotation question.

[firsthonda]

With the Insight 2, do you swap the front and rear tires on the same sides? Or do you move the fronts to back(on same side) and criss cross the rear tires moving up to the front? Thanks.

im not 100% sure about the OEM dunlops.. but the Yokohama's i have are directional tires.. thus they can only be rotated from back to front.. you would have to have them unmounted and flipped to go on the other side..

I didn't know the Yokohama's were directional. I plan on getting them when my Dunlops wear out or maybe sooner..... Anyway I guess i'll just rotate them front to back. I know on some front wheel drives they recommend swapping the sides of the rear tires going up front.

For the I1 this is covered in the manual, i am sure it is in the I2 manual too.

Thank you. It is on page 378. As I suspected, the rear tires(Dunlops) have to be cris crossed ; coming up to the front.
