If you have been reading the thread on Michelin Tire problems you would know that I have had 4 side wall bubbles on these pieces of trash. After the first two I have been replacing the Michelin bubbles with Coopers and have not had a bubble in over 15,000 miles.

Now my new problem. I have original Michelins on the left side and new Coopers on the right. Normally I rotate front to back but would like to move the Michelins to the back and Coopers to the front.

Can I do this ??

Yes, you can do this and without much problem. I would initially move the Coopers to the back and the Michelins to the front so that you wear them out faster. It is never a good idea to have two different treads on the same vehicle (i.e different brands on the car). It is even a worser idea to to this on the sides as you have done. If you ever put different treads on a car, do the front the same and the rear the same that way the car is in balance and you run a low risk of running your car out of balance or alignment.

In a nut shell, Coopers to the back, Michelins to the front.... When the Michelins run out, move the back Coopers to the front and replace the back with identical Coopers.... Hope I helped.... Keep on truckin'
