Tire Rotation on a 712

Post by texas pinzgauer »

My 712 came with some BFG A/Ts that have held up OK but have now been replaced with Falken Wild Peak A/Ts. I'll share my observations about them once I've gotten them dirty so to speak. As I never bothered to rotate the BFGs because they were on their way out anyway, I'd like to preserve these new tires but am unsure of what sequence these tires would be rotated.

As with many of my previous inquires, the answer might be obvious BUT just in case, how about a little wisdom on where tires get rotated to/from on a 712.

As always, thanks in advance for y'all's suggestions and perspective.

I rotate all 7, moving them clockwise around the truck. Then, when one side is worn off all of them, I reverse them on the rims and start again. I do not run directional or asymetrical tires, just Interco SSR radials.

They are 285/75R16 Falken Wild Peak A/Ts.

Have not yet taken them off road but will give you a heads up when that looks like it's going to come together Jim.
