If you're using tires with directional tread patterns, rotate front to back on the same side; if not, rotate the rear tires to the opposite sides in front and the front tires to the same sides in the rear. (See p. 609 of the manual)

I don’t think the stock continental tire are directional - any insight on that?

 

The Touring trim comes with the Continental CrossContact tires, correct? If you haven't changed from those, they should be non-directional tread patterns.

 

Excellent. Thanks for the info

 

Directional Tires
Directional tires have a one-way tread pattern optimized for the direction the tires rotate on the car - they're specifically made for either the left or right side. You'll notice little arrows or triangles on the sidewall indicating which way the tire is supposed to turn.To rotate directional tires, swap the front right tire with the back right tire and the front left tire with the back left tire. See image for reference:

Non-Directional Tires
The tread pattern on non-directional tires is designed so that they can be mounted on any wheel.
To rotate non-directional tires, use the cross pattern. For cars with rear-wheel drive, move the front tires to the opposite sides of the rear: left-front to right-rear and right-front to left-rear. The rear tires are moved straight forward. Here's how it looks visually:

*On vehicles with front-wheel drive, do the opposite. Move the rear tires to the opposite sides of the front and move the front tires straight back.

Where are the best jacking points to rest the vehicle on jack stands.
I know the tow hook is one - also one under the body kinda in the middle but more towards the front. Any input would be great!

PS - before any potential trolls decide to chime in here. I’m not asking because I don’t know how or where to lift a vehicle. I just know Honda has their own specific spots as jacking points (not including the 4 behind/in front of the wheels......

It differs with model. Usually the front of the Hondas have a bulged portion on the front beam near the radiator that is used as the front lift point. All of mine have this, and they are exposed through the splash shield that covers the underside of the engine.

It's the rear that can get tricky. The lift point for the CR-Vs I own (one '97, two '09) are pretty close to the axis of the rear axle, so I bought a jack that can reach far enough underneath to be able to lift it at that point. The lift point on the 2005 TSX is the rear tie-down near the rear bumper (which surprised me). On the 1999 Acura TL, however, the rear tie-down was attached only to the spare tire tub and was not the lift point, and the same goes for the CR-Vs--if you try to lift at those tie-down hooks, you'll buckle your spare tire tub and need to get bodywork done.

Best bet is to search online for your specific year and model to find the correct front and rear lift points. I know the Honda service manuals show these locations, but I'm not sure if the owner's manual (in the glove compartment) would show this.

For side lifts, the jacking points are the reinforced tabs that stick down from the sides, as you mentioned. Even shops with lifts use those side lift points.

 

Front to rear, same side every 6K miles

 

Its front to rear no cross. Never cross. Largest cause of a broken belt in a tire is cross rotations.
