I had my wheels rotated at 10000 miles and they took the two off the left rear and put them on the front and the two on the front on the left rear. I ran them for 15000 miles this summer and I ran my last set of Michelins 36000 miles, rotating them twice, the same way. I was told by an old time tire guy who had letters confirming it from several tire manufactures that not rotating tires from side to side (so they rotate the opposite way) is an urban myth. When radial tires first came out, the manufactures did not know how they were going to react to long term wear and stresses, so to be cautious, they told their dealers to only rotate back to front so the tires continued to turn in the same direction. Turned out that it really makes no difference, but the myth is still out there and many tire guys still swear by it.
