It's time to rotate BFG A/T's on my beast but.....both rear tires have two 2oz balance wieghts, and the fronts each have one 2oz balance wieght. Should I just swap the front left w/the front right, and do the rear the same way or.....?

jsut rotate front to back or however you normally torate... 4 oz eventhough a 1/4 of a pound is not much weight in regards to a truck tire......

my 31: bfgs were in great condtion and on average required 3 ounces each

TONY: You been rotating the tires?
JERRY: Try to.
TONY: You don't try to. You do it! Fifty-one percent of all
turns are right turns. You know that? 'Try to.


What TONY meant is cross the left and right once they are moved to the front.

I use pattern C for 4 tire rotation in this diagram

The weights shouldn't matter, tires aren't usually balanced on the car anyway.

I'm probably not understanding as usual. But the tire weights are balancing the tires and rim, not where they are on the vehicle. They are all balanced off the vehicle of course when new and installed anywhere really. What I'm saying is the weights have nothing to do with tire rotations at all, just that specific tire and rim.

I rotate both the back tires straight forward. So back driver to front driver, and back passenger to front passenger. Then cross the front two. So front driver goes to back passenger, and front passenger goes to back driver.

This way all the tires work there way around the entire vehicle. Seeing equal amounts on all four corners...

Oh man. I'm way further down that slope... straight down would at least be a smooth ride, it's the BUMPS that get ya... what were you saying?

I have to rotate my tires front to back on the side since my wheels are directional.
