Tire rotation for staggered set up
hi,
on s500Sport with staggered set up,
do you guys recommend rotation across axle?
otherwise, with unidirection tires, shouldn't you be able to for even wear, as long as they are not Right or left specific?
otherwise, these tires stay in the same wheel/corner for the entire duration.... and if you don't have perfect alignment..... eneven/premature tire wear/ware....?
help...

With a staggered setup you really cant do much rotation.
If you get uni-directional and staggered then you DEFINITELY can't rotate.
With just uni-directional you could bump the backs to the front and the fronts to the back but thats it.
Its an expensive sporty look for anything over 18" staggered wheels.

Even if you rotate across the axis (left-right), you wouldn't be saving that much tread. The rear tires will wear across the entire tire, so no point in rotating those. The fronts wear on the inside as well due to steering, so its not like you have "brand new" tread waiting to be used...
