Larry,

I agree with your regime of two new tires every other year. It's also easier to get approval from the CFO.

However, I'm thinking the front tires are the most crucial. I'm not looking forward to having a front tire blow. I had a mid tire go in a construction zone and didn't even know about it till a trucker pulled alongside and got my attention. Maybe putting the new tires on the front, then moving those to the mid and the existing mids to the rear might be a better rotational scheme?
You make a good point. I guess I looked at it a little different. For me, the tire that goes on the front is now 2 yrs old and will be there until it is 4 yrs old with 2/3rds of original tread. Seemed like an acceptable risk. But the tire going on the front came from the rear where it experienced the circle turn tire squirm. I may just reconsider my rotation scheme. Thanks for the thought.
