[FC] Tire Question Drags On

[Bill Chellis]

Hi Tim:

I have pasted a link to what Michelin says about which axle gets the 2  
new tires.

http://www.michelinman.com/tire-care/tire-saving-tips/replacement-questions/

It's at the bottom of the page. Click on the link to the video.
Its quite the eye-opener.

I can tell you from a real life experience, their advice changed my  
mind.
