    I’m due to rotate my tires and I’ve always done it the Rear-Ward Cross method.

    I had to get a new tire due to a hole. I had the tire place the new one on the rear right because that’s supposed to wear the fastest.

    Question is should I leave it in the rear right for another rotation cycle and swap the rest or carry on with my 4x4 Rear-Ward Cross method?

    personal preference, keep the rotation schedule like you had it and pretend nothing changed.

    2nd this.

    Don't overthink it. Rotate your tires like normal. Have a beer while doing it and carry on.

    I also agree on keeping the rotation schedule. If you keep that one in place, it will put all the others out of sync.

    And, for what it's worth, I agree on the cross rotation - it helps a lot with eliminating feathering/cupping of the edges. I have more than 60k miles on my current set of Cooper XLTs and more tread left to go a while.

    Awesome thanks guys. I’ll go ahead and rotate per usual this weekend. Easy to over think things lol.
