My tires were inadvertently run in the same position for about 20,000 miles (they were installed, run for about 8,000 miles, removed for snow tires, and then installed in the rotated pattern; I noticed a bit of vibration and took them to Discount Tire where they were purchased for rebalancing but they went ahead and rotated them too, so they went back to the original positions I think). To answer the obvious question, I guess I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't realize they had rotated the tires again until I looked at the receipt about a month ago.
I recently had them rotated again and now I am getting what I assume to be vibration because of the wear pattern already on the tires. I've been driving them for about 1000 miles and it hasn't really changed.
The tires have been rebalanced 3 times using a Road Force balancer, and the car has also been aligned; no change from any of that.
So I'm thinking I will have to move the fronts to the back and basically keep them that way, which I don't really mind... I'd rather do that than have to buy new tires again.
But I'm wondering, should I do another X-pattern, or just front to back on the same side?
Any advice appreciated...
