Rotating Tires?
I know it's the most basic thing ever, but i tend to over-think everything.
I have BFG KM2s and i'm going to rotate them.
I'm doing a 4 tire rotation.
Should i go rear left to front left and front left to rear left and then vice versa on the other side
OR
should i do rear left to front right front right to rear left and then the vice versa of that?
I also have another problem. The caps that screw over the valve to put air into the tires are rusted or seized on or something. I can't unscrew the caps so i can't add air or check tire pressure or anything like that.
Any ideas on how to fix that?

Grab the valve stem caps with pliers and unscrew them. If still stuck just break them off being sure to not break the valve stem inside.

I googled it plenty of times. I just wasn't sure if there was a special way to rotate Km2s or something like that.
Tried that didn't work. That's the problem though. They're not the plastic caps. They're metal caps. Bad move, i know, but i have to deal with it now.
