Michelin XZL Rotation Pattern

[Menaces Nemesis]

Happy Tuesday everyone,

I've got XZL 395's on my M35A2 bobber... on my other vehicles I normally rotate front tires directly to the back, and then criss-cross the backs up to the front. Is that how the XZL's should be rotated too? I've done a couple searches on the subject and haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Just got done with live chat with Jose from Michelin Customer Support. Here's what he had to say;

"The rear tires are moved forward on the same side of the vehicle, front tires are criss-crossed to the rear axle." So, just end-for-end of what I normally do.

Unless anyone believes this to be wrong (please chime in if you do) I'll consider the question answered.

I personally NEVER change direction of rotation of the tires.
They have always seemed to blow out if I did.
I'm not familiar with your wheel setup (dish in / dish out).
