Right next to where I work I see this car everyday, finally wasnt busy enough to stop and snap a pic

Cleanest OE Y49 Ive ever seen.

 

That looks so clean! This is in Massachusetts, yeah?

 

Atlanta Georgia= NO RUST!

 

Did a quick google search on the stores in the background and it came up as MA, guess I was wrong. For a second I was shocked to see a rust-free CRX in New England.

Makes much more sense now!

 

Probably sat in a garage since 1992. It does look nice.

 

Fresh off the manufacturing line.

 

I can't stand the fact that one of the wheels is on backwards. Well, I guess that would mean that two of the wheels are on the wrong side.

 

That thing is crazy clean. You said you see it every day, how long have you been seeing the guy drive it?

 

Wow, that is a clean CRX.

 

I have a buddy with a yellow y49 that clean, or cleaner. They look good when in that condition, i used to have one myself

 

When people rotate tires they don't really pop the wheel off the rim and transfer them. That's probably what happened.

 

Then they rotate them wrong. Front wheels to back, back to front should keep the rim and tread facing its intended direction. Ive never had a set of tires that could be rotated in an X pattern.

Or am I missing something ?

 

youre supposed to rotate in an X pattern, not front to back......because weight.

 

Close to a year since I first noticed, will get moar pics

 

Not calling you out, but I was told it was due to steering for the front wheels and power to the rear wheels. That theory doesn't apply to FWD cars. I would still reccomend the X pattern. But that would require the tires being swapped if you have tires that are meant to face only one way.

 

Oh no problem I was discussing, not trying to call anyone out HAHA

TBH ive never rotated tires on any of my older cars because i just didnt care. But on my CRZ i usually go Front LEFT to back RIGHT, Front Right to Back Left , Back Left to Front Right.

my understanding was that the Back RIGHT is the least "worn" tire because its at the area with the least weight (passenger side , rear). The Front left is the most worn because of engine weight and Driver weight (extra 150-250 lbs depending).

So you want to swap those two when you rotate right?

 

My tires always seem to wear evenly enough side to side, now that I think of it, they have pretty much worn evenly front to back as well. I drive my cars pretty aggressively though, so i use the tread more evenly than most. I either switch front to back(or vice versa) or just get a completely new set of 4 tires.

BTW, that is one CLEAN CRX!!

 

Yes, I believe so since the tire would be facing the opposite way if you kept it on the same rim. My tires on my car only run one way, so I just swap front and rear.

 

The X pattern should be used when tire tread is non directional. If tread is directional they should be front to back and back to front, and also if the X pattern will make your wheel look dumb.....

 

I like the plate "liteweight" haha but the manual clearly says front to back no X

 

Only because the wheels are specific to a side of the vehicle, and two would be backwards if you rotated them in the proper x pattern

 

If the exhaust tips have not been touched, This CRX has a stock factory axleback which
appears to be in mint condition. It must has very low milage. Such a beauty. Take more pics will ya?

 

You can still buy new OEM exhausts and tips from the dealer for these cars. I know...I actually just did that.

So, that might or might not prove anything. At least they use OEM parts if so.
