Bias tire rotation

[dietz]

Original Bias tires are more heavily worn on outsides. Should I be rotating them to opposite sides to double the life?
Thanks in advance

Also
242x. Should I be looking to go radial when I replace? If so, is there a preferred standard wheel & tire combo that looks nicer & is affordable? (If so, which website or package deal)

Get rid of them. Night and day between radial and bias ply. Good year has a great radial tire which will ride better, safer, higher speed rating. I junked my bias tires after the first year.

That points to an alignment or spring problem. Have you removed the wheels and looked around for a worn suspension components?

Somethings not right if you're seeing that kind of wear. Radial Goodyear trailer tires is my suggestion, but any tire is going to have the same wear issue until you fix the root cause. Don't forget to swap out the spare to radial as well when you do make the change.

If each tire is wearing on both sides Of the tread, that’s under inflation.

I just switched out the stock Carlisle bias tires to Goodyear Endurance radials. The main reason I swapped tires was that the bias tires had the typical bias tire flat spotting when cold, but would not go away when warmed up… constant vibration while running down the road. The Goodyear’s are pretty awesome, smooth and vibration free.

By rotating you mean toss and buy radials, yeah!

Assuming you got new wheels too? If so, which did you go for & what size. Thanks

Yup, rotate them right into the trash
