Tire rotation on 2003 Accord
 

Hi,
In the manual it shows two different types of tire rotation
One type if you have directional tire and the other if you have non
directional tire. What's the difference ? How do I know which one I have ?
My car came with the 15 inches Michelin.
Thanks for any input

Michelin what? Is it the MXV4+ Energy? If so, it's non-directional, I
believe. The best way to check is to look on the sidewall. If it's
directional, it'll have an arrow somewhere showing the correct rotation
direction.

In any case, even if you have non-directional tires, it's OK to just rotate
front-to-back and not worry about side-to-side.

Cheers,

Pete

don't rotate them, the sooner you replace those Michelins with something
decent (especially on the front) the better.

LOL! Very true!

Something like Dunlop SP A2 would work nicely, alternatively Dunlop SP5000
if you're looking for more grip and better performance.

Cheers,
