Tire Rotation

[BellePlaine]

7,450 miles since new, I rotated my Hankooks yesterday. I wanted to get the unused spare in the rotation, pardon the pun, and the advice that I got was to put the new tire on the rear. I randomly selected the passenger side which turned out to have had the most worn tread. Here's a pic of the unused spare against the passenger-rear. The PR tire looks very flat to me.



Because that passenger-rear tire was the most worn, I decided to use it as the spare and leave the passenger-front tire in place for a while longer. I adjusted the pressure to 44 psi in the rear and 34 psi in the front. The aliment seems to be pretty good.

Sounds good. I hear Hankook owners tell me that the tires wear down quickly?

I have Hankook RA08's on the back of my bus and have not noticed this.

How many miles, and what is your current tread depth in 32ths?

I am 10,000 into the Maxxis tires, and there is one stupid tire with accelerated shoulder tread block wear because I was not paying enough attention and putting on gobs of hard hot highway miles and was distracted by generator bearings.
Left front > too much negative camber AND too much toe out! Repaired an hour ago here in Las Vegas Nevada.

The tread depth is just under 7mm and they do not have that many miles on them, a couple thousand or so. Mainly posting so we have record of this info.
