Have a2008 Grand caravan. I have Good year assurance fuel max tires. one of my rims has a slight defect that makes a slight vibration. i put it on the back and it is hardly noticable.

For this reason i can not put this tire on the front. i know the correct way to rotate the tires is in the book but can i rotate the left front to the right front and left back to the right back? i realize the tires won't last as long as if i did the correct way but i would like at least try and get a little more life out of the tires as i can not put the bad one on the front.

Back when i had rear wheel drive cars in the 80's they used to say if you rotate left to right you will bust a belt . Is this still true or was that just bs.?

PLease do not reply telling the correct way to balance tires. That is not an option here.


Thanks

I think that was just BS. Its still the same as is was back in the 80s.

 

So in your opinion it should not do any damage to the tires if i swap the two front tires left tot right? H
ave about 6000 miles on the tires so far if that matters?

 

Here are a few articles on Tire Rotation...

 

are those Directional tires? if they are swaping sides will increase there wear since they will be going backwards

I know my good year triple fortera treads are directional,
