Tire wear
In 65 years of driving Model As I've never bought a full set of new tires. Can someone tell me the wear sequence: which corner wears out first and which last? I've bought a full set of used ones and want to wear them all out at the same time.

Re: Tire wear
Both fronts then right rear, if you do a lot of burn outs :-)

Re: Tire wear
Make sure your alignment,, tire pressure is in spec, front end tight, good shocks then rotate your tires regularly

I've always wondered about that. Don't the tyres rotate as you drive anyway?

Re: Tire wear
That's the correct way to spell what you guys call "TIRES".

Re: Tire wear
rotate your tires often and they will wear evenly depending on your amount of driving if your think you drive a lot every 6 months if you dont drive much every year. if your wearing your front tires fast you are probably out of alignment.

Re: Tire wear
Yay! An american who knows how to use the word "tire" correctly.
As for gas/petrol, when we put gas in the car, it is LPG. "Petrol" avoids confusion.

Re: Tire wear
When you rotate the tires, any specific location. Do tires need to always spin in same direction.

Re: Tire wear
I think radials should always roll the same way, but bias ply tires can roll either way. Comments?
