Tire rotation

[najib]

Hey guys am about to do my first tire rotation in my 14 si stock wheels. What is the orientation n the torque on the lug nuts?

First rotation since new? I would put the rear in the front and the fronts in the rear. Torque the lugs to 80 ft lbs. Start with one lug and then got to every other one.

Yup first rotation since new. So crisscrossing isn't necessary?

I would do front to back and the backs cross to the front. But you can got front to back also. TQ is exactly what Nomar said.

Yes crisscrossing the tires are necessary (unless your tires are directional).
Here's the picture from the owner's manual:
And crisscrossing the lug nuts, yes. So equal torque is distributed through all the wheel studs.
