rotating tires...

lol, did you guys ever read your service manual?

front to back, that is all, don't swap sides. Standard rotation is different from what Honda specifies.

Diagram depicts:
For Non-Directional Tires and Wheels:
Fronts go to the back
Backs switch sides and go to the front

For Directional Tires and Wheels
Fronts go back
Backs go front

Not to be an asshat...

That's the case if the tires are directional. If they aren't, it's okay to rotate them straight, but it's recommended to rotate the front tires to the back straight and the back tires to the fronts switch sides. I used to work for America's Tire Co. for almost two years

Rotating tires has many schools of thought. Some front to back, some do front to back, switching sides on both, and any variation. I do front to back always, no switching sides. As long as you do it, you will be better off.

huh... now i'm confused...

Doesn't matter what people want to argue, fact is the best way to ensure your tires all wear evenly is to rotate them regularly and switch sides. Switching sides is the only way that the tires get rotated through each corner of the car.

Im with Wildman. there are several ways to rotate tires. you can always go with what the manufacturer suggests. If the tires are non-directional you can switch sides. if they are directional they have to stay on the same side.

FWD vehicle- Fronts go straight back and rears diagonal to the front.
RWD vehicle- Rears go to the front and fronts diagonal to the back.

what is also accepted is all tires go diagonal... fronts to the back changing sides and rears go to the front changing sides.
