Tire Rotation at our Frostproof shop

That comes down to your drive layout and the tires themselves. Front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, and all wheel drive vehicles each have a recommended pattern, and directional tires or non matching sizes change it again. We check your setup and use the pattern that fits it.

Yes, they just stay on the side of the car they're already on and move front to back. They're built to rotate in one direction, so swapping them across the vehicle would put them on backwards. There's a small arrow on the sidewall showing which way they're meant to turn.

It's worth staying on top of. All wheel drive systems work best when all four tires are close in tread depth, so letting two corners wear far ahead of the others is harder on the driveline than it is on a two wheel drive car. Keeping the wear even keeps the system happy.

It can slow things down, but it won't restore tread that's gone. The bigger question is why the wear went uneven in the first place, since that's often an alignment or a worn part rather than the rotation schedule. We'd rather find the cause than just move the problem to a different corner.
