Tire rotation?

DON M · 01-09-2003, 07:18 PM

My front tires are wearing slightly more on the two edges toward the out side of the car. I don't think it is from mis-alignment. I feel like it must be from the turn in as I push it pretty hard sometimes.
Does it make sense to dismount them and remount them on the other side of the car? At $310+ I would like to maximize the wear. Any opinions?
TIA
Don

Surely someone has experiance with this?

I would think this would be a viable option, especially if the tires are not assymetrical. Even if the tires are assymetrical, you may give up a little ultimate handling but they should still work.
(disclaimer: no, I haven't had the chance to actually DO this....)

Depending on how much wear your talking about it may not be worth the money to mount and balance them. Maybe just put that money towards new tires but if the insides of the tires have very little wear it could be a good idea. Btw what tires are you running :)
