rotating wheels

Ebe_Scrooge

I prefer to have the best tyres on the front, given that they're the ones doing both the steering and the driving.

Yes, the general advice is best ones on the back. If the back wheels lose grip, the car will tend to oversteer, whereas if the front ones go it'll give understeer. Understeer is easier to control than oversteer for most people. Me, I've been lucky enough to go on a skid-pan training course ( which was brilliant fun, I might add ! ), so feel confident controlling any type of skid.

The one downside of rotating the wheels, for most people, is that you're then faced with replacing 4 tyres instead of 2. This is quite a large cash outlay. At least only replacing 2 at a time spreads the cost.

Given mine is a company car, the cost factor doesn't matter. I'd rather do 4 at once as that means less of MY TIME is taken up with the activity.

Maybe just my warped sense of humour but ......
aren't wheels MEANT to rotate?

Seriously though, it's a case of 6 or half-a-dozen, no? :cool:

Only if you're Lady Penelope. Otherwise it's 4.
