  • tire question for the rallycross peeps

    Changing my tires after this weekend, noticed some wear on the front tires. When i first mounted them i marked the position and be putting them in the same spot. As of now i have 4 events on them, when should i rotate the tire positions? Pic shows the left side rear and front.

    If you want balanced wear, I would. The front is definitely seeing more wear.

      I rotate mine every time I put them back on.

        Damon on the Escort(FWD) I never rotate the tires. When i went to the NC I rotated so I basically had a new set on the front, when I got home I rotated them back. I will repeat that this year. My rear tires have shown more or less zero wear..... And I am too cheap to buy new fronts just for thr NC! The wear is dramatic looking at first (Winterforce) but soon slows down.

          I would rotate those if that's from one event. What tires are those?

          I haven't seen that much wear on my tires since I started rallyx... maybe I should drive harder? I probably have 15-20 events on them. But mine don't look as aggressive, more like all seasons. They are Yoko Guardex 600s that I couldn't even give away before rallyx.

          Maybe I need new tires if I want to stay on top in SA?

              Lol, yeah i do have a kinda "go for broke" driving style. Dillon pointed thatout to me this past weekend.

              Wes, those tires are called Sunny SN3680. I got them from tires-easy.com and were the only winter tire in a 165/70-13. The size was the only reason i got them, it was just a bonus the tread patten lookes like a hankook.

              Thanks for the input guys, im gunna start swaping them every event to even out the wear. They not really worn per say, just chewed up a bit at the edges.
