Maybe gives it a better grip when the road starts bouncing from an earthquake.  I'll bet you get some pretty strange looking tread wear. Guess you'd want to rotate them suckers pretty regularly. |

I know for a fact that here in the U S of A we have a truly fantastic thingy called an "alignment bay".  Not fer sure but just maybe might give them a tad more tire life.  Cool if impractical.  RIDE SAFE. |

Or does he just limp it up to where people are waiting to take pictures. If it actually gets driven, I'd like a video of him cutting through town. It would be a great thing to show some of these "experts" that have explained to me, how the side-walls of my car tire can never hold-up to the laterial stresses they're being subjected to. |

Yeah I mean low-pros on an SUV are stupid, but this is a special kind of idiocy. |

Boxer rebellion, the Holy Child. They all pay their rent.
But none together can testify to the rhythm of a road well bent.
Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.

Rotating tires wouldn't help on those rigs. It is amazing what people will waste their money on.
