Default Is it safe to rotate car tires?

I want to rotate my car tires, i want to move the front ones to the back. I drive a 84 Toyota Celica, will this be safe?

Yes. Perfectly safe to rotate front to back and back to front unless you have a staggered fitment (rear tires are wider than the front). If all four tires are the same size, it is not only safe, it is recommended. It will make the tires last much longer.

Welcome to the forum bristimjet,

Generally speaking, the answer is 'yes' but I do wonder why you would ask a question about Toyota tyre rotation as your first post on a Jaguar forum.

When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some info about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

My preferred pattern (when not running staggered) is front wheel goes straight back, and the back wheel goes diagonal.
