Anyone rotated their tyres yet?

Just thought I'd ask, as I've experienced a few differences since I had it done last Friday.

Although, if I'm honest, I can't recall the last time I had non directional tyres rotated, neither can I believe the difference it made.
Almost from the off the car felt strange. Very jittery and lacking feel.
It all came to a head over the weekend when it rained though. There was very little grip, particularly at the back end, and the car seemed desperate to swop ends.

Having said that, now I've put a few 'spirited' dry miles on, everything seems to be almost back to normal. Seems it may have needed to scrub the tyres back in a bit.

So if you're going to rotate the tyres, might I suggest you excercise a little more caution than I did for the first few days.

Cheers for that info, as tyre rotation is common practice when going in for a service.

I didn't think that you could rotate directional tyres? Do you mean swapping wheels round rather than turning the tyres?
