I disagree regardlesss of what the experts say.



I want the good tires on the front, not because of front wheel drive, but because, if there's a blowout, I do Not want to lose the ability to steer off the road safely. A rear blowout doesn't amount to much, but up front, it's a serious safety thing.
We (wife and I) get out tires rotated every oil change (5000 miles).

Granting that tires rarely blow out these days, I still lean towards safety if possible. Why chance it?


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
