Re: Tire Rotation

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxx>]

I had been taught that the drive tires wear the fastest regardless of 
the car being front or rear wheel drive. The purpose of rotation as I 
understood it was to provide the drive tires with relief from the 
engine.

The DeLorean is not a very conventional car though and I have 
certainly not driven mine enough yet to see which ones wear out first 
so if you're experiencing more wear in your front tires I won't doubt 
you.

Back when you could get a car that had a full size spare, it was 
recommended to put the spare into the rotation as well to really 
extend the life of your tires.

I hate to say it, but tire rotation on a DeLorean is probably a non-
event.
