How often must a person swop the tyres,especially M/T tyres,on my bakkie the front tyres started to go bumpy,so johan tyres recommended that is swop them cross over.The M/T tyres use to do it on a SFA.

The MTR's on Kaspaas gets rotated (cross-over from rear to front, and straight from front to rear) once every 5000km's. That ensures that they wear out evenly and that the knobbly's dont get worn unevenly. Currently they have done more than 50000 km's and are still in good condition.

Thanks klaspaas

(cross-over from FRONTto REAR, and straight from REARto FRONT) in my case.

Ek dink elke ou sal anders oor die saak voel.
Ek het gehoor:
1. dit is verkeerd om bande oorkruis te ruil, dit is dan amper om soos met houtwerk teen die gryn in te werk en dan loop die band gouer af,
2. dan het ek ook al gehoor ouens sê nee as hul voor na agter ruil moet hy al vier gelyk vervang word inplaas van twee op 'n slag.
Dus persoonlike keuses

hoekom wil jy so baie moeite doen? Sit die spaarwiel elke keer links agter op en sit die regs voor op die spaar... hou aan so roteer... wat se Johann Tyre??

Ek hoor jou lied Pieter maar met MTR's loop die knobblies baie skeef af, en mens moet hulle van albei kante af gelyktrap, anders loop hulle baie ongelyk af.

My voor bande het begin tekens wys van elke tweede knop wat dieper as die ander een afloop.
Sal dit die rede wees? Ek het gedink dit was die oorsaak van 'n stabeliseerder wat nie gewerk het nie, die bout het deur die arm gedruk en vry op-en-af beweeg.

With your brain, but I don't think you'll feel much of a difference...

on another thread Cassie mentioned :

When rotating tyres, remember the following:

Radial tyres you can only fit back to front (the must remain on the same side of the vehicle)
Crossply tyres can be rotated in any direction

How do I tell which I have?

Mud's and knobblies do not conform to those rules... EXCEPT for the Kumho muds that has uni-directional tread..

Your tyres will have a "R" in the spec somewhere. like AT/R or MT/R etc etc
