Back from holiday
Updated: January 9th, 2013
I am back from holiday for a few days. I had a crazy time. I managed to crash my car on a mountain pass after the weather turned foul. I thank the Lord I am alive. I am fine, but my car is not.
Just a heads up – I will be traveling later in the week.
Also, my email is REALLY backed up. Please do not be offended if I do not reply to an email.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

FWD only needs the change of the front wheels
No, you should rotate the wheels so they wear evenly, then change them all at once. Tires get old and dry with age even if they don't wear down.
Also, use winter tires when driving on snow. The difference in traction compared to summer or "all-season" tires is like night and day.
"No, you should rotate the wheels so they wear evenly, then change them all at once. Tires get old and dry with age even if they don’t wear down."
What i meant was, you dont have to change all 4 wheels at the same time, just 2 at a time. The most common swap is front wheels go at the back, and new wheels go at the front.
And of course you should stock some winter tires if you have to drive on snow.
