Lee:
I believe this is old thinking. The Wranglers (front tires) on my 97 were
getting wear (front outside lug wearing faster that rear lug - cupping),
caused by turning. The solution is to rotate front left to right rear etc.
This reverses the direction and evens the wear. More that one tire shop
told me to do this. No alignment problems.
But, this is just my opinion, not necessarity correct.
