I remember in the old days, when radial tires first came out, that you should always keep the same tires on each side of the car when rotating them. Left side front to rear and rear to front...right

I don't have any references for you, but the owner's manual for my '06 civic show tire rotation across the car (i.e. fronts crossed to backs, backs straight up to fronts), as does the manual for our

That was an artifact of early US radial tire manufacture, which was generally piss-poor in quality. Some tires were prone to belt separation if the direction of rotation was reversed. Tires are bett

Not just US radial tires, early Michelin radials had the same problem. BTDT, had a terrible time figuring out why the car rode like it had a flat tire, but all the tires had air in them. Even withou

On lots of cars, that's true. My land-rover, on the other hand, wears the inside edge of the front tires. It's an artifact of the way axle is set up. The only thing to do is rotate tires. And that's

Or find a way to increase the camber a bit. There's usually a way, even if the manufacturer didn't provide an adjustment as such. I had a Chevy that wore the outside edge of the front tires, even wi

Wandering yet a little further off topic, many years ago three friends and I piled into a VW Bug owned by one of them for a trip to SoCal. Now, the guy who owned the Bug was not the most car-savvy t

There are a substantial number number of them still around here. Sure, lots more that don't sell gas, or that turned the service bays into a convenience store. David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com
