Getting ready to rotate tires on 1930 ford
Any suggestions as to order of rotation? Standard size tires 4:75/5:00-19

Heard a guy say one time, after a long drawn out discussion ......... that he really appreciated lots of people expressing their different opinions ..... because all of the other opinions offered only prove that his opinion is the only one that is correct !!!!

That was the preferred way in the '50s up until radials took over.

NEVER rotate radials to reverse the original direction of rotation! Just go front to rear.

Right on pop that is good practice ,,,,but i do run into exceptions on moderns, sometimes you can get a tire pull to one side.. we cross the front tires and that usually takes it away... and yes the alignment is at spec

YEP, on a pull, you have to make SURE the alignment is right, THEN, you use your "special" tricks that have taken YEARS of EXPERIENCE to learn.
That's why you DON'T ever go to a ROOKIE for repairs, just send the wasted money to ME
