Tire Rotration Pattern.

Looked through the threads and couldn't find one that dealth with this, so here goes...

Looking for tire experts' opinion here.

I've always done my own regular maintenance on my cars, and with several with over 300,000 miles on them, I must be doing something right.

Now its time for a tire rotation (MYLR with factory Pirelli Scorpion tires.) Checking the owner's manual, Tesla talks about rotating unidirectional and staggered tires side-to side. My personal preference is a little different. I like to move the rears to the front, and the fronts to the rear, switching sides when I do so (obviously this is for unidirectional tires with non-staggered tire sizes.) Pirelli actually recommends this for AWD cars.

So which do you guys do. Side to side, front-to-back with the fronts swapped side-to-side when moveed to the back/ Something else?

I can't think of a reason why Tesla wouldn't want the tires rotated front to back when they're not staggered.
