Just a quick question do front tires wear out faster or rear tires wear out faster ? And is there any point to only changing 2 tires first or just change all four at once. Thanks

 

Front, its where the power goes. They also do all the turning, so the edges get worn out quicker. You should get pretty even wear if you rotate them regularly. Usually replace all 4 at once.

 

yeh the he's right the front do ware faster.... and change all four one time BUT dont mix and match tire its takes away from the ride of the car

 

It is not really a matter of power (unless you stomp on it). It is much more a matter of turning and all the weight they support.

 

Definitly the front. You should be good if you Rotate them on time.

 

Rotating them on time would be.... And where should I switch em to... I thought I remembered I'm supposed to go diag. like left front to right rear and so on.... Is this right?

 

cars front wheel drive...
so that means...they ware out quicker...
braking...pealing out...all that nice s*it...

 

I rotate mine every 7000 miles. I've done it twice, and my POORtenzas are wearing very evenly. (maybe I should leave them unrotated for a while... that way I'd need new tires sooner!!!)

The OEM tires are supposed to be rotated front to back ONLY (R rear to R front, R front to R rear, same on left), because the tires are directional. That means they are designed to only rotate one way on the vehicle. If you swap sides with them, you're probably going to break some belts or worse !!! It depends on the tire though. Some tires, like the ones on the 350Z, cannot be rotated. They are directional, asymetrical, AND the front and rear tires are different sizes. Z owners will be replacing tires OFTEN.

 

I just took off my 18's to go back to my stock 17's due to the weather up north, and let me tell you that I slacked off in rotating the tires at that 7,000 mile mark. I noticed that half the thread was gone from the front, and that is with constant checks for tire inflation levels. The 18's I got are heavy so I guess with that in mind you my have to rotate sooner than 7,000 to compensate for the weight of heavier rims and tires. When I put them back on during this spring I have all the meat left on the rears so they will go up front. Hope this helps.
