new tyre in front or rear?

[ixeo]

How do u know that I'm not peeping u also? U know when u buang u also spinnnn

I sailing boat ma, don't spin 1.

thats why this thread or topic is very confusing..

I guess I will still stick to new tyres in front..
I don't drive fast in rain, only like 150km

its the front tyre that need to be replaced every few years

Basically you can stick it anywhere you want if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, always in the rear.

that's not a bad way to describe the car bug

Sometimes I'm quite impressed with myself, making something so wrong sound macam yes.

I've been reading this and I'd like to chip in,

The science as to why new tyres should be in front (edited: I meant rear) is clear, but this will only work if your existing tyres are in good condition. It's counter productive if you've only got 50% or below left and you put that pair in front to be honest

Agree on this, whether in front or in the rear depends on the thread balance of the old tyres too.....

Sorry I meant new tyres in the rear in the first sentence

well.. usually rear tyre is OLD but still got plenty of thread left....

so thats where i begin to put new tyre at rear tyre...and use older in front....



since FWD is faster wear infront... hence...old front will fully utilized...then when it time finished all the front thread...

buy new tyre and put at the rear again....

older rear which was previously was new then relocated to the front...


and the cycle continues....

Btw somewhat related, I found this interesting article about the view from Michelin about using very worn out tires, which might not be so bad after all! :D

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Should-we-change-tyres-at-3mm.htm

So if we apply this finding to the topic of this thread, then not necessarily you must put the new tires at the rear! It still depends on the condition of your old tires and what tires are they compared to how good is the new tires that you buy. So let say you are already using a very good high performance tires like PS3. Then because you never rotate, you need to change 2 already originated from the front but due to budget limitation you settle with lower end tires, say some Achilles or something. Then by following the general guidance you put those new low end tires at the rear, and you might actually end up making the car more dangerous even in the wet!

I think regardless of front or rear..

most importantly, is to change the tyre on time..
its the safest bet.

There are many buts and ifs already. Topic is new tyre in front or rear, then how old is the rear, how much pattern left in the rear and now different tyre going budget. Well, if this is the case it will be a case to case basis already......hhahhahahha
