Post how do you rotate the tires?

do you put the rears on the front, and the fronts on the rear?

OR, do you put the right tires on the left side, then the rear to the front, and vice versa

are stock tires directional or non directional?

Most experts recommend the modified X method. Rotate both front wheels straight back and cross the rears to the front(rr goes to LF etc.) Eventually all tires will be in all locations.

Yea, but only do the X w/ non-directional tires. Otherwise keep 'em on the same side.

I don't know if the OEM Michelins are directional - either call Acura, look at www.tirerack.com or take a gander at the tire to see if it says.

definately go with the X. That's what my manual says to do. and that;s what they do at the dealership. but only if they are not directional....
