If your FR-S has the Bridgestone all season tires, I cannot say, as I’m unfamiliar with them. But, just examine the tire sidewall to see if there’s a directional arrow on the tire. If “Yes,” then keep the tire on the same side, moving it only front to rear, etc.

Otherwise, move the rears straight forward, and cross the fronts over to the back. Repeat as often as you like, but 5000-7500 miles is generally recommended in normal use.


My BRZ manual shows the normal cross-over rotation pattern. My BRZ came equipped with the Primacy HP tires.
Good info, I had forgotten about the "directional" part of this. I will check this out before I get my tires rotated.
