The front right to the back left, the front left to the back right, the two back tires to the front, the two front tires to the back. If all else fails take the tires off and place them on your roof.

Bubba,

I am a little surprised that you are not reading your home owners manual. If I recall right, the manual for a 98 Fleetwood gives instructions for the tire rotation test on page 36. You should perfrom the test before you rotate as it will determine if you should rotate the tires. In case you lost your manual, here's a digest of the instructions:

1. Remove the right front tire and hold it as far over your head as you can and then drop it and observe the following:

a. If it hits you squarely on the top of your head the tires do not need rotating.
b. If it hits you with the center axis titled, the tires need rotation.
c. If it knocks you out, the tires need replacement

There is a strong caution at the bottom of the page that states: "THE TIRE ROTATION TEST MAY KNOCK YOUR BRAINS OUT." You can safetly ignore that warning.
