Default rotating tires?

its strange at 5.5k miles all tires are 8s and after 1k miles the front became a 7...

i was told that a FWD car should cross rotate but the front tires just goes to the back with out crossing. and the back tires is crossed to the front.

stock 09 tC tires arent directional?
my tires stayed at 9s for a while before....now its taking a nose dive...

what wears tires the most is driving habit... if you drive them hard they will wear harder.. just remember too.. as the tread gets lower the faster is wears.. most of your tire life comes from the first 50% of the tread.. then a rapid decrease afterwards
