Hi all,

Do y'all rotate the front tyres at all?
In the meanwhile I will consult the book of BuRP to see if Can Am has any wisdom on the matter and promptly post here if they do.

I rotated at 8,000 because they were wearing more or the insides (Which is common)
I now have 11,000 and hope to see 15,000 before I put on the new ones I have in the garage.

+I switched my front tires to Bridgestone Potenzas (P165/65R14 78S for a Honda Fit) for far better wear and longevity, and like feel. I've only rotated mine once since installed 3/21/10 and they're still going strong with 24,000 miles without any of the unusual wear patterns that existed on the previous sets of OEM tires. I already have a Potenza-shoed pair of wheels for when these eventually wear out, but they've still got lots of miles left.

So, yes, I rotate them for longevity.

Ride on.

Thanx all for the replies.

Roadkill, Thanks for the tip.
Can I ask what PSI do you run the Potenzas at?

+The sidewalls say 44psi, and I run 42.

Ride on.
