I criss-crossed my tire when I notice they were wearing more in the
front part of the tread blocks. Especially the fronts.

After years with radials on sedans and sports cars, I
too thought front to
back with no crisscross. then I read the Dak manual
(97). They recommend
the crisscross front to back. When I asked a tire
dealer why, he said
trucks wear tires differently than cars due to a
suspension that is set up
to be loaded, and usually isn't. So to even out the
wear, you need to
crisscross 'em.
