Tire Rotation from Triple-A, AAA:

Tires on the front and rear of vehicles operate at different loads and perform different steering and braking functions, resulting in unequal wear patterns. To gain maximum life and performance from your tires, it is essential to rotate your vehicles's tires. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for mileage recommendations. Usually tire rotation is performed between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. Common on performance cars are tires designed to rotate in a specific direction; these can only be rotated front to rear and if different tire sizes are used on the front and rear axles rotation is not possible.

You know about four years ago I had a tube installed on a single problem tire on my Troy-Bilt snowblower at a bicycle repair store and they put the tire back on the rim, backwards, so the directional tread was going in the wrong direction. Contrary to logical thinking it makes absolutely no difference and the snowblower moves along through the snow just fine like it made no difference that the directional tread is backwards.
