Tire Rotation

Today's job is to rotate the tires on my 911 4S. Since the rear tires wear out faster than do the front tires, I rotate the tires front to back. This evens out the tire wear.

Front are different sizes from rear..... only thing you may be able to do is left with right as long as tires are not directional.

May help your tires last a bit longer, but will sure look like you're driving backwards until your rotate them again. Re: 11 wide in the front and 8 in the back. Not sure if they make big enough spacers for the rear.

By the way - happy April 1st!
