   Cross rotation of wheels

   Ever since I ditched Chrysler/Dodge in the 70s I've had Japanese sedans.   
   They don't require fancy tires and they allow cross rotation patterns.   
      
   Every change of seasons I rotate alternating between X & H patterns if the   
   spare isn't useful or just the typical modified X rotation with the spare.   
      
   That means radial tires are going on both sides of the vehicle where I do   
   about 12K (pre Covid) miles per year with a mix of about 80:20 percent   
   more local and less highway miles.   
      
   I've read you shouldn't rotate across the midline but I've had no issues.   
      
   Have you?
