white letters out

 

Well got the tires dad took it work and showed it off. Than he went and picked up the tires. Came home from work unloaded them. The tires are so new they still have the nipples on the side!!! It was dark out and when I felt them I was like no way nipples still? Yep sure was nipples i felt. It was a steal for 400 in load ranger E.

 

Nothing beats the feel of a soft supple nipple

 

Yes sir you have that correct I think I'm going white letters out.

 

Most of you my know I picked up a set of 33" bfg km2's. When they guy got them taken off his wheel he got the tires marked. Ie RR LR LF RF. Which is the correct way to rotate them. There pretty new (nipples on the sides) I didn't think it would matter but I wanted to ask anyway.

Now my other wheels and tires are going to sit the winter out. I plan to clean the wheels up before I put them away and mark them when I take them off. Should I air down the tires? Leave them at the psi there at now? I have never stored wheels and tires before so I'm not sure what I should do. The wheels and tires are going to be keep in the tool shed for the winter. They will be subject to some elements. Any ideas?

 

Leave them at the same PSI, and put them in a dry location. Don't put them somewhere where they can collect moisture, or sit in water. You'd be asking for trouble. If you are extra worried, then clean them up and put a layer of wax down on them, but if you can keep them in a dry spot then it's not an issue.

Oh, I hope that by "Rotation" you meant transfer or another term along those lines.

All I have ever been told st to rotate like this:
LF-> LR RF-> RR 6000 miles later- LF--> RR RF--> LR

And then back again.

 

Yes the tires came off marked I want to put them in there correct place as if they where being rotate.

 

put down some fence posts or blocks or 4x4 and/or tarp or something to keep the tires out of the dirt.

 

Heres a link that shows the "proper" way to rotate tires, depending on if they are for a front wheel drive vehicle, 4 wheel drive, different size tired vehicle, or even how to properly do rotations with a 5th tire (spare). I kinda like that idea with the spare... you always see the spare tire brand new and the other four shot, but not with this setup (which will also essentially add more life to all the tires).

my spare has a big groove in the tread from where the exhaust melted it and it is smaller than the four on the axles. so rotating that one into the mix isn't an option, its an emergency only tire.
