Same-side rotations are easier/faster/cheaper to do. For non-directional tires, I prefer the cross-rotation pattern described in the owner's manual, as regular rotations will eventually get each tire positioned at each wheel location, which I hope will lead to even tire wear on a car with ~zero wheel toe and camber front and rear.

The wheel lug nut torque setting is 72 ft-lbs. See page 12-10 in your OM.

If I may, allow me to suggest downloading a pdf of the owner's manual. It's much easier to use the Reader's search function than to try and wade through 400+ pages on OM.

Thanks Crewzer, I totally missed that in the owners manual I did look there first and didn't see it. Thanks, Jim

 

Glad to help, Rudy. It took me a while to find that spec in my '09's manual, as it's buried in some narrative on page 9-7. :icon_rolleyes:
