Side to side rotation

[LDB]

Diagrams show front to back on same side or a criss cross pattern. Is there a reason van tires shouldn't cross side to side on the same axle like steers etc do on big trucks?

I always swapped front to rear on the same side with my van and got excellent wear.

Ive always crossed the fronts to the rear, and brought the rears straight forward , that way the tires hit all 4 corners. Last set of tires I got 170,000 miles on them. and I run 70psi in all 4. Rotated and balanced every 10,000 miles

I was in TIRE business for 12 years , back a few years and i would ONLY do same side rotation , front to back, back to front, SWITCHING sides on radial tires will cause the tire to rotate differently then what it was and about 75 to 80 % of the time will cause RADIAL BELT breakage. It may work for some people BUT i would NEVER do it .
