guys,

would like to ask for your opinion on rotating tyre after using.

Usually rotating tyre are recommended to do straight swap (| |) or cross swap (X)

Your inputs are much appreciated.

Thx.

Depends on the tyre whether directional or not

Not too sure about your comment.

What I noticed was front tyre will consume more to the side. So over several months on daily driving I swap straight with my rear unit.
I repeat this after few months and now I rotate again the first time front tyre back to front. I can hear very noisy sound when I cruise at 60KM/H or higher.

This is due to the tyre thread? FYI, I am using Yokohama S-Drive

S Drive is directional lo... smile.gif it got sign at the side wall mention Rotate Direction or something like that with an arrow sign...
it might cause by uneven wear on the tire and also the tire itself as directional tires is not meant to be quiet... smile.gif

I see..thanks for the tips.

As you suggested in earlier reply, by crossing the front tyre to rear use could probably solve the noisy sound?

the sound is like "wuunnng.........". Really hope can do something to it
