Most tire manufacturers have changed their tire rotation policy on radial
belted tires. Previously, radial belted tires were to be rotated only from
front to rear and rear to front on the same side of the vehicle.

All radial belted tires approved for use on Volkswagen vehicles can be
rotated diagonally if unusual wear, such as feather-edging, is observed.
