Default How to rotate BRIDGESTONE RE760?

Hello and Merry Christmas,

I have bridgestone re760 on a 2010 rwd is250 on 18" wheels(staggered).

The user manual says non - directional tires rotate them side to side on the same axle but after doing some research, it says these RE760 are asymmetrical.

Do i treat these the same as non-directional tires and rotate them side to side on the same axle?

As you indicate they have an asymmetric tread design and therefore can be rotated from side to side if you so desire. But, I would not rotate these tires unless you are having some sort unusual wear pattern that you are trying to equalize.

Our cars have 2 different sizes for front and rear. The only thing you can do is rotate LH wth the RH (exclusive for front and rear). Means passenger side rear move to driver side rear. However what benefit will this give you? Unless you have abnormal wear in which case you have to resolve the issue and more than likely it can not be fixed by rotation.

Such is the staggered design. It gives you performance though.

If you swap the tires left and right, would it help the inner front tire wear?

^^^^Not if both fronts are wearing the same way. Again, if you are trying to compensate for uneven wear on one front tire than you could rotate the tires, after you get an alignment.

Yeah, they wear the same way. I might just get that bushing on the next tire change.
