tyre wear: nsr worn more than osr - Cliff Pope

Besides having more load on it, the N/S wheel is going

round more times than the O/S so it is travelling further

when going round roundabouts.

>>

I'm not sure that is true. If on average you go straight on at roundabouts (ie same number of left as right turns) then won't the extra revolutions on the roundabout be evened out by the two opposite turns as you enter and leave?

It sounds like a pretty convincing argument for swapping over wheels periodically.
