eds Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If I have done 50k miles on my general grabbers and the fronts are nearly gone. I swapped the fronts with the rears and swapped the sides they are on. Now I seems to not have as good tracking, wonndering around and pulling left. The tyre pressures are right. Does rotating the tyres upset the handling? Thank you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If they are unevenly worn and out of balance I would say so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiny Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would only swap fronts to rears if I were you. First of all if your tyres are directional, they're moving in the wrong direction. Furthermore, I learned the hard way that swapping sides on non-directional tyres accelerates wear rapidly. I used to swap my the tyres on my partner's Toyota Yaris yearly using the method recommended by toyota: i.e. putting the front tyres on the rear axle retaining the side they were on and putting the rears on the front while swapping sides. I didn't like the wear rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
