No problem before tire rotation

From : scanman

Q: i thought you were never suposed to criss cross rotate radials! i was told the rotation of the radial tires should always be in the same direction hence the right rear goes to the right front and the left rear to the left front and vice versa. i was told if you criss cross them you will experience just what you got. a large amount of vibration and problems. just what someone told me once..... .
