A
automobile tire rotation for
rriatfimum safe tread life has
been adopted by tire industry
experts the Tire Industry
Safety Council reports today
iii a. new edition of its "Con
sumer* Tire Guide."
Using the new system bias
and-'beltedbias rear tires
should be moved straight for
ward and front tires criss
crossed to the rear wheels.
'The. old rotation system
was "the reverse front tires
moved straight back and rear
tires [criss-crossed forward.
iThe." new Guide also in
cludes a rotation pattern for
radial .tires.
[Radials should be ex
changed front and rear on
the same side of the
automobile the experts say.
They should never be criss
crossed.
a
procedures are spelled out in
detail in the new Guide
primarily because they are
an^ important tire safety
precaution" said Council
Chairman Malcolm R. Lovell
Jr.

tire wear can cause poor
steering response and
possible sudden tire
disablement" Mr. Lovell ex
plained.
"To realize the full poten
tial of tread life tires should
be rotated at 6000 to 8000
mile intervals" the new
Guide says.
"The first such rotation is
by far the most important in
setting the stage for long
even tire wear" the Guide
emphasizes adding "In
some instances if irregular
wear begins to develop
rotation will be advisable at
less than 6000 miles."
The Guide says that in
flation should be rechecked
after rotation to get proper
front and rear pressure
relationship.
Rotation time is also a
good time to inspect tires for
damage and to remove
foreign objects embedded in
the tread the Guide suggests.
The Guide cautions that if
different types of tires are
used on front and rear axles
they should be rotated on the
same axle.
