    I remember from my toyota
    manual tire totation with spare every 5k. I guess consideration would be if you rarely use the car and ma una yung 6 years before you could evenly distribute yung wear tear with your spare tire. Sayang nman spare tire. Kung overused naman car medyo kakapagod nman yata rotate every other month.

    If the old tires that you're not replacing are so old that they might "explode", then you don't want them on the car *at all*.

    If the old tires don't have enough tread to evacuate water (4/32"), then you don't want them on the rear. Hydroplaning front tires are absolutely no problem. The car continues in a straight line until you pass the puddle. At which point you gain back steering and continue on your way.

    Hydroplaning rear tires are a right pain in the ass... and if your hands aren't quick, the car is sideways before you blink. (I've been lucky when that's happened to me... my hands are quicker than my brain).

    -

    The ONLY time you leave the old tires on the rear is if they still have more than half-tread left. If they're anywhere close to 4/32 (slightly taller than the writing on the margin of a 5-peso coin), put them in front.

    -

    If you don't like doing it that way... rotate your tires often, so you won't have to replace your front tires too soon.
    How about for cargo trucks? Should the new tires be placed in front or at the rear?

    I always put the new tires in front for our cargo trucks. I am thinking that there are more tires at the back, 4 or 8, than the front (2 only).

    with all due respect..
    cargo trucks are lethal weapons when they skid and/or hydroplane. pag dumulas ang malaking trak, damay lahat!
    if i had any say in it, i would have them impounded if they so much as have one bald tire on them.
    my 98 centavos' worth..

    but in a recent google i made, there was this ... that, in one paragraph about recommending new tires be put up front, delivered two conflicting ideas.. confusing..

    new tires: rear
    old ones: front

    whether front-wheel drive or 4x4, you need the tires with better traction (i.e., new ones) on the rear of the vehicle

    also, the older tires need to be replaced first so put them where they will wear faster


    for technical explanation, go back to niky's post

    If so, all the trucks in the metro would have been impounded. [emoji1]

    about rotating tires. di ba pag nag rotate ka ng tires, yung nasa front eh malilipat sa likod? so dapat di ka pala nag rotate ng tires, kung susundin mo yung rear should always get the new tire.

    errr...
    rotating tires is one thing.. replacing bald tires is another..
    the assumption is, the tires being rotated are all in good condition.
