Subject:   Re: interesting tire safety video

Also ... after owning several front wheel drive and several rear wheel drive vehicles, I can attest that they "handle" very, very differently in the context of that video. My front tires wear more quickly on my van than the rears and it's AWD, but the main drive is rear. Factor: the van is pretty heavy and turning is what creates much of the wear.
