to preserve the tyres of ur car how does one rotate them?

[Loosehead]

This is generally only worth doingy with front wheel drive cars and even then in certain circumstances The front's tend to wear out quicker but it depends on the car for how much quicker and hence the stategy for moving them. So if you car uses the front twice as quick then just change them as they wear out essentially you be buying 4 tyres then 2 then 4 etc. ther may be combinations where it is advantagious to swap the front with the back but the general advice is to change them as they become worn.

Hardly, it's one's chauffeur's job. And my chauffeur prefers to change the whole set with the same make so rotates the front left to right back etc. to even the wear. Tootle pip!

One drives one's car and one's tyres rotate, but this does not preserve one's tyres it wears one's tyres out.

On modern cars one should not rotate ones tyres, this used to be the case but one is advised not to do this now!

I do my own thing, drawn from my own experiences when I was tyre fitting and the individual car, to hell with what anyone else, whoever they are thinks or advises. I can't stand odd tyre treads especially on my Landrover so I wear them out to a sensible even limit and buy a complete set, the handling is always better that way.
