My issue with that is how your control comes from the front tire on bicycles. Anytime I have a tire issue the front tire gets the newest rubber. Rotating tires is just spreading the wear and reduced traction to your steering tire.
- u801e 7y agoWhat I normally do when the rear tire is worn, is get a new tire, mount it on the front and move the original front tire to the rear. Even after 3000 miles of riding, my front tire doesn't show much wear at all. The rear tire, on the other hand, will have virtually no tread left.
- hinkley 7y agoAfter thinking about it a bit, I believe he was suggesting rotating at 1k, and replacing the tires every 2k. Which would still leave an awful lot of tread, but also be a more aggressive replacement period than most people would do.
