NEW TYRES
FIT THEM TO FRONT WHEELS. Many motorists are in doubt, when they purchase a pair of new motor tyres as to which wheels the new tyres should be fitted. Some people favour them to diagonally opposite wheels—offside front and nearside rear—the idea being to reduce risk of skidding. There is, however a distinct advantage in lit ting both new covers to the front wheels, inasmuch as there is far less risk of a burst or puncture taking place with new tyres, and, therefore, little fear of losing control of steering through such an occurrence. Additionally. the steering is usually much easier with good tyres on the front wheels. The pairing of a new cover (whlc%i is usually heavier than a worn tyre) writh a partially worn front cover is quite likely to upset the balance in the front assembly, and cause wheel wobble.
