Worn Front Tires
 
Learned something today, make sure you rotate your tires as the villages roundabouts cause excessive wear on the front tires and to occasionally check for wear.

There was another thread on this a week or so ago and several people who were in the tire business said this is not correct.

"Excessive" wear??? :ohdear: Keep it below 55.

More likely turning steering wheel when stationary.
You take a lot more sharp left and right turns than circling roundabouts.
Someone is pulling your chain!

That is why I propose: Traffic in roundabouts go counter-clockwise on odd days, clockwise on even days.

Bad idea, many can’t figure out how the roundabouts work already, further complications could be disastrous.

Try keeping air at correct pressure. Currently we have 70,000 on 80,000 mile rated tires with normal wear and tear 5/32 will replace at recommended 2/32 or B4

Yes, roundabouts will wear front tires on one side if you negotiate them above 25 mph or so due to centrifugal force? Tire pressure also critical and supposed rotate them between 6 and 10K miles anyway, one avenue rhey use to void tire warranty? IMO most don’t check tire pressure at least once month, tires will loose 1 to 2 PSI month depending on temperature changes unless the are filled with nitrogen.

Wouldn’t Turning wheels stationary wear tires in one spot and not on outside/inside edge? Think about it?

straighten out the curves.
 
When traversing a round thing with no other traffic you might try going from left lane to right lane as you pass through. It's more fun if you do it at 55 but at any speed it reduces friction. Just be sure and use your rear view mirrors to avoid conflict. Stay Safe Ya'all.:shocked::pray:

If you do it at 75 do you gain tread?

You can rotate your tires all you want, but if you don't periodically get an alignment it is a waste of time.
