if you have ever spun out without moving then it would wear the rear tires more than the front.

What is the difference between front and rear motorcycle tires?

There are two main differences between a front and rear motorcycle tire. The rear tire is flatter while the front tire is more triangular in shape. The triangle shape of the front tire helps the bike enter and exit turns while the flatter shape of the rear tire gives the bike more stability. The second difference is that the forces generated on the rear vs. the front tire are reversed. The rear tire is subjected to acceleration forces while the front tire is subjected to the majority of the braking forces therefore the inner lacing of the tires are set up reversed. That said, you can run a rear tire on the front if you reverse it so the rotational arrow is backwards. Do not attempt to run a front tire on the rear. You will lose the stabilizing effects of the rear tire and the tire will also wear out much faster since it doesn't have as much tread to start with.

NO. The rear tire is almost always larger than the front. I don't know what rotation has to do with this but it is not recommended to reverse rotation on any tire.

The front tires have to be thinner because they have to do all the steering, while the rear tires have to all the acceleration, which demands more grip.


Why the rear tire of a farm tractor has less pressure than the front one which is smaller in size?

The pressure in any tire is determined by the weight the tire is supposed to carry . For example , if a car is weighing 2000 kilos , each tire is carrying 500 kilos weight . The pressure in the tire should be such as to withstand this weight . Pressure is force divided by area . So the more the area of the tire connecting to the land , the less tyre pressure is needed to withstand the weight . The rear tires of the tractor are almost double the size of the front tires and carry three fourth of the weight of the tractor . So if the tractor weighs 2000 kgs the rear tires carry weight of 1500 kgs and the front tires carry weight of 500 kgs . But then the front tires are one half the size so the pressure there will be 2 X pressure in rear tyre X 3/4 . ( These are approximate calculations for illustration . ) So the front tire should have about 1.5 times more pressure than the rear tires .

Why do front tires on Honda civics go bald?

Most cars have more front tire wear than rear due to turning(tire scrub), front wheel drive cars wear even faster on the front. Rotating the tires regularly will get you more mileage. Other causes can be aggressive driving(burnouts), incorrect alignment, or tire pressure, and also worn steering/suspension parts. Hope this helps.
