Tyres safety


Please note the instruction on the video.

I had argument with local tyre shop owner on this before. He had insisted on putting the new tyres on the front. (His argument is that nowadays most cars are front-wheel drive so the driving force is from the front wheel BUT as shown in the video, it is the grip whilst driving on the wet road that is critical).

I had to put my foot down and insisting on putting the new tyres at the back.

Another thing to note is always if possible change the tyres in pair as if one change only one tyre, the grip will not be balance.
