Tire wear

**BroncoHauler** · 11-05-2007, 06:10 AM

I should have paid more attention to the front versus rear wear pattern of my tires when I bought my SMB, but how are your front tires wearing compared to the back tires? I'm trying to decide it it's time to rotate my tires, or if I'm OK for the moment. I'm familiar with when to rotate tires on a pickup truck, but I don't have much to go on regarding the appropriate time on a van. Do the fronts or rears wear faster?

My rears seem to wear like iron, the front get some cupping and edge wear. So I rotate every oil change.

I've got 13k on my van and was checking the tires the other day and the fronts are wearing a little more then the rears. No cupping or anything, just a little more wear. I'm going to rotate 'em when I get a chance. I've only got one jack here in Baja so might wait till I get stateside in December.
