pegscraper Posted April 18, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2007 What's the recommendation on how many miles to run between tire rotations front to back, you know, like we do on cars? Y'all do rotate your tires front to back periodically, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calperin Posted April 18, 2007 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2007 Only left to right. never cross left rear to front right. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted April 18, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2007 I rotate them every time I go for a ride, that way I don't forget to do it and have much more piece of mind while on the road. For me it's always saftey first, so I check to make sure that one time the stem is on top and the next it's on the bottom, just can't remember if it was on the top or bottom when I parked it last fall, darn does that mean I now have to get new rubbers? wonder what my wife will say about that,,,,,, I'm just getting a little older maybe?

FreezyRider Posted April 18, 2007 Share #7 Posted April 18, 2007 And since we're talking about tires and safety, y'all don't forget to get that winter air out of your tires and get it replaced with summer air. I usually make sure mine is changed by the end of April, then change back to winter air in November. Of course, those of you in warmer climates may do it differently. What's your schedule???

Who uses air? I use Helium. Makes the bike far lighter and way easier to handle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted April 18, 2007 Share #9 Posted April 18, 2007 Rather than rotate tires, I just run in reverse for the second half of the riding season. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venturing Sole Posted April 18, 2007 Share #15 Posted April 18, 2007 ...and of course you have to rotate the spare in the trunk so it gets some use too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddle_Bag Posted April 18, 2007 Share #17 Posted April 18, 2007 I don't rotate anymore, putting the studded winter tire on the front cuts down on the milage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted April 18, 2007 Share #18 Posted April 18, 2007 I always just take them off and point the arrows the other way when I put them back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the bike far lighter and way easier to handle!! dont this make the bike more top heavy adding helium to the tires seems like it would want to flip upside down or you could go out in the garage in the morning and find the bike on the celing:whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
