Tire wear

[BruceUpstate NY]

In 65 years of driving Model As I've never bought a full set of new tires. Can someone tell me the wear sequence: which corner wears out first and which last? I've bought a full set of used ones and want to wear them all out at the same time.

Both fronts then right rear, if you do a lot of burn outs

Make sure your alignment,, tire pressure is in spec, front end tight, good shocks then rotate your tires regularly

I've always wondered about that. Don't the tyres rotate as you drive anyway?

I don't know what tyres are..

Don't know what "Tyres" are ? . . . . . oh, yeah . . . you are a 'colonial'. Probably don't have lorries or bangers either. Nor bonnets, or wind-screens.

That's the correct way to spell what you guys call "TIRES".

I have tyres on my Alpine and use petrol as fuel. My A gets tires and gas...

rotate your tires often and they will wear evenly depending on your amount of driving if your think you drive a lot every 6 months if you dont drive much every year. if your wearing your front tires fast you are probably out of alignment.

I also tire and have gas.

Yay! An american who knows how to use the word "tire" correctly.
As for gas/petrol, when we put gas in the car, it is LPG. "Petrol" avoids confusion.

Ha Ha Donuts and fuel!

You were saved by the French. It must have been their plot to wreck the English language.

When you rotate the tires, any specific location. Do tires need to always spin in same direction.

Does anyone get "tyred" of all the great humor?

I think radials should always roll the same way, but bias ply tires can roll either way. Comments?

I agree. But why rotate tyres? You have to buy four at a time instead of two.

Maybe not for Model A's, but you often get a better deal buying 4 tires at a time rather than just a pair.
