steveh Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I own an Mx5 2010 RC currently running on WIM coils and noticed that the rear tyres are beginning to show signs of wear , I done about 7K miles , the fronts still looking brand new apart from possible wear on the outside edge of the nearside front (every car I've owned whilst living in Peterborough has been the same). Do I rotate front to back? (They are asymetric) I'm unsure as I understand Tony is not a fan of tyre rotation plus I also understand that the good tyres should be fitted to the rear.

steveh Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 What signs of wear are they showing. Pretty sure it's equal wear across the width of both rear tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I should say rotate them but remember she might understeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tony, Is that due to the likely wear pattern across the tyre or the simple fact that you'll potentially have less grip at the front due to less tread depth than the rear.

Tony Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Yes, less tread, less grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
