Re: Tire Rotation
Well, 'Both' of my owners manuals for 'both' of my Jeeps say to keep the
tires on one side and do not cross them so 'I' will do what the owners
manual says, not the freaking tire maker who has his own reasons for umm
proper 'wear'.
I guess there are stupid people out there that would take the word of
the tire 'seller' on the 'best' way to make the tires last the longest
rather than the maker of the vehicle.
Oh, there also have been a pile of Jeepers in the last few years and
lately that have posted about out of round tires causing the 'death
wobble' and other vibrations. Wanna bet they used the tire makers way
of rotating???
Our Cherokee even 'came' that way 6 years ago with an almost new set of
Hercules tires on it that were freshly rotated. 6 months later, one
dead tire with a tread separation or out of round issue. Out of round
'usually' means belt separation eh.
LOL! Man you are good for a chuckle now and then.

tires on one side and do not cross them so 'I' will do what the owners
manual says, not the freaking tire maker who has his own reasons for umm
proper 'wear'.
I guess there are stupid people out there that would take the word of
the tire 'seller' on the 'best' way to make the tires last the longest
rather than the maker of the vehicle.
Oh, there also have been a pile of Jeepers in the last few years and
lately that have posted about out of round tires causing the 'death
wobble' and other vibrations. Wanna bet they used the tire makers way
of rotating???
Our Cherokee even 'came' that way 6 years ago with an almost new set of
Hercules tires on it that were freshly rotated. 6 months later, one
dead tire with a tread separation or out of round issue. Out of round
'usually' means belt separation eh.
LOL! Man you are good for a chuckle now and then.

Re: Tire Rotation
Well, 'Both' of my owners manuals for 'both' of my Jeeps say to keep the
tires on one side and do not cross them so 'I' will do what the owners
manual says, not the freaking tire maker who has his own reasons for umm
proper 'wear'.
I guess there are stupid people out there that would take the word of
the tire 'seller' on the 'best' way to make the tires last the longest
rather than the maker of the vehicle.
Oh, there also have been a pile of Jeepers in the last few years and
lately that have posted about out of round tires causing the 'death
wobble' and other vibrations. Wanna bet they used the tire makers way
of rotating???
Our Cherokee even 'came' that way 6 years ago with an almost new set of
Hercules tires on it that were freshly rotated. 6 months later, one
dead tire with a tread separation or out of round issue. Out of round
'usually' means belt separation eh.
