SMARTLY Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Going to swap front with backs, should it be opposite corners or same side? Tyres are Avon ZV5 asymmetrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Depends if they are directional doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Don't do it........ Tyre rotation is a myth born from the crossply trye. Modern tyre adopts a load profile over time, if you move the tyre it has to adjust again, most time this will distort the tyre.... As odd as it reads the tread has a memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted April 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Interesting, so if I have wear on the fronts ( 4 mm ) and almost new on the back - still don't do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMARTLY Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 OK, I'm going to swap them over this week to even out the wear. So is it swap opposite corners or same side ( they are non-directional tyres I think Avon ZV5 )? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
