Everybody else already said it, but newer p***enger series don't care where they are on the car. Not like they'll twist a belt if you move them. As long as they ain't dry rotted, I'd run the.... wheels? off of them lol
Budget36; You're kidding me... right? Peoples' Republic of MN is rhs. Most drivers sit in the lh seat. Rh turns, esp those resembling circles, load the Lf tire, & to some extent, the outer edge, too. The miserable round-abouts circle left(counter-clockwise - if you go through the whole thing. But they're not as much fun, & usually ~ half the speed. & since there's usually ~4 entrances/exits for each one, & people here have trouble w/basic driving anyways, they are best not played in, nor around.). I should've added that the whole tires' tread surface wears down near as fast as the outer edge. Marcus...
Uh, @Lloyd's paint & gl*** ... that would be "run the ***s offa them". Remember the old guys used to say "Those tires are almost new.. still got the ***s on 'em"? Now I'm an old guy, so that's my go-to tire line!
Back when I was in the truck tire biz, and radials were relatively new, we faced this problem. Tires on the drive axles would take a “torque set” in the belt package. When rotated in the opposite direction the torque would loosen the belts and bingo, a belt and tread separation. We even tried to get customers to mark direction of rotation on casings intended for drive position retreading. Trailer retreads didn’t matter; no torque, obviously. We didn’t care about the p***enger tire problems, but once the engineering evolved, so did the belt package problem for both. Hasn’t been a problem for years. Rock on, it doesn’t matter.
