[6pack] Rotating radial tires/tyres

[EdB]

Andrew:

My wife's car needed tires, so I recently took a set of four slightly used 
radial tires into a tire shop, with each clearly marked with the position it 
had, LF, RR, RF, LR, and asked them to mount them on the appropriate wheels 
on my wife's car and the tire man in charge told me, in reference to the 
positions the tires previously held,  "That doesn't matter".
