    So the rear and front tires on my car are two different sizes. So for rotations should I just swap the two front ones but leave em on front and swap the two rear ones and leave em on rear?

    Unless your tires are directional.

    Then you just let them wear.

    How do I tell if their directional? That's part of the reason I was asking cause I've heard there's more to it with the different sizes on front and rear

    If the tires are directional they will have arrows on them pointing in one direction.

    this is a gxp thing usally, front tires are different so unless you have non directinaol you can only switch fronts with fronts and the rears with rears.
