I appreciate the one guy giving me the benefit of the doubt. This is Supramkv forum , so it not only seems possible, but likely that I am talking about a supra rather than a Subaru. Does Subaru make a 3 L premium car? Did not catch my mistake until it was pointed out to me. I am a big fan of Subarus Barkly family,though ?
Just edit your original post so you don't get anymore responses questioning your autocorrect mistake.

I also typically will rotate mine side to side when I change oil on the car just to try and keep wear as even as possible.

Is it necessary? Probably not, but I like to do whatever I can to maximize life on tires. Speaking of which I need to air mine up some since it has gotten a little colder recently and I still have some time left to drive it before the snow flies

Most tires these days are a-symmetrical which means they have an inside/outside orientation. That means one can rotate them side to side without dismounting them from the wheel. Check your sidewall.

I just run them down with no rotation and get a new pair or set on my fun and funner cars.

The other day I did a 4 wheel cross rotation on my Forester as it's a no fun car and came with boring no-seasons. Since it comes with a spare tire I pressured up the donut while I used it to do the cross rotation. I think I killed a few birds with one beer can. :crazy: easy peasy..
