Tires

[AnthonyCeli]

When rotating tires on a 2000 gt is it ok to just go front to back or do you have to go side to side as well? I only ask because I know certain cars you have to do both or it can be bad.

It isn't about the car, it is the tires.
You want to go side to side unless the tires say "left" or "right" on the sidewall. If they do, then the tire is directional and must stay on whatever side the sidewall denotes.

I only did front to back. What could happen?

[Snowfork]

Not too much as long as you aren't an e-brake abuser.

I have an Automatic so no I am not haha. Thanks a lot! I did snap a lug off in the rear brake drum though... lol guess I'll be fixing that tomorrow.

Make sure you criss-cross when you rotate them back to the front.

Roger that

So pretty sure rotating them knocked the alignment off. pulls to the left now.

If your tires are worn on one side more then other the car will pull to the side.

look at the tires and see if they are directional or non, the car doesn't matter

if the tires are directional then on the same side do front to back and back to front
