    I have worked for Bob Jane, Beaurepaires, Jax & Kmart tyre & Auto. With 10yrs experience as a wheel aligner and tyre fitter. They are all the same, all they offer is 4 wheel balance and will only roll tyres front to back and call it a rotation and balance. To get the best from your radial tyres when rotating 4 only. RHF to LHR, LHR to LHF, LHF to RHR, RHR to RHF. Spare can be included by dropping to LHR with the RHF to spare. The key to long wear is regular (5000k) rotations crossing the tyres onto the rear, reverse rotation which helps to eliminate tyre memory from bad alignments or the many roundabouts and gives them a chance to run flat again while on the back. Crossing tyres on the steer wheels can cause or reduce tyre pull. I have argued with all the tyre stores on how I want my tyres moved and most simply won't do it. So as a general rule I only get the front tyres balanced after I have rotated them myself. To make it easier the torque rated extensions and socket set similar to what the tyre store use can be bought from Auto Pro and fitted to a battery or air impact gun,,,,, very quick and never under or over tensioned. Just my 2 cents worth
