my car has about 20k and i havent done the tire rotation yet...

should i do it? cuz in the manual i shouldve done it at 7k lol

or is this unnecessary but its recommended??

can this be done at home with jack stands? just lift and switch like u change ur flat tires?

if I do it mine is pure 02 sedan ex 4 stock tires, should i follow directional? or non-directional instruction???

 

overdue for a tire rotation. dunno if they're directional since i can't see them from here, but better to be safe than sorry.

 

Since they are the stock tires, they are NOT directional. It's okay to rotate now, even if it's past the recommended interval. Just do it regularly from now on.

 

I have always heard that tires should be done every 6-7k miles, and I try to stick to that. Are the treads from the front tires to the back look very different in terms of how worn they are? If so then change them immediately I would suggest, and you probably should just get it done anyways since you are overdue.

 

depends. i have a civic and two different sets of tires and rims. light rim and different tire in the front because front wheel drive. i set mine up to match my demands. so i don't rotate my tires, they are unidirectional anyways. stock tires should be rotated according to manual because they have their own engineering make long livity of the axle/suspension and tire. if your looking for keeping your car for a long time keep to the manual.

 

and.. for front tires... their side was kinda flatter than the rear tires...

i guess thats y... for even wear...

anyway... can this be done at home? or gotta take it to shop?

if i can do it at home i better go buy 4 jackstands... how much would it cost at the shop?

 

usually no more than $20

 

I rotate every 5K.
