I'm curious how the "standard" for tire rotation between FWD and R/AWD vehicles was established.
In the case of FWD, why is front tires straight back, and rears crossed to the front, better than the RWD sequence (Front moved criss-cross to rear, and rears straight to front)?
And vice versa. Is there a reason for this? I've always went with the standard rotation but find myself pondering each time what the negative outcome might be if I did it backward.
