[TR] Rotating radial tires/tyres

[Wbeech]

I only rotate front-to-back-to-front, my Ford dealer rotates my
detroitmobile tires in the crossing pattern RF-to-LR; LR-to-LF; LF-to-RR;
RR-to RF

Never had a failure or odd wear pattern either way.  I think my
front-to-back method may be old school based on older radial recommendation.


Of course, if you are running a directional tread pattern you can only
rotate front-to-back, BTDT paid the price.

OK, so what is the combined wisdom of the lists when it comes to rotating
radials?  

Some claim once a radial is used on, say, the driver's side it cannot be
moved to the passenger - so "rotating" means front-to-rear and vice versa.
Others poo-poo this restriction and say "rotate away!"

What do Triumph owners say?  And let's not have the obvious answer, "
Radial?  What's a radial?"  !!
