So you would only rotate crappy all season tires? Not the high-performance Michelin all season tires?

yah, i dont run pss, but if i did, i would not rotate dem.

crap tires are about longitivity.
performance tires are about performance. i dont rotate them including my RE11's.

motored my STI and had a blast. i faking luv this car mang.. it is such a joy to drive this car it is unbelievable.

only thing i do is set the throttle to S# (i run stage1 AP) and center diff rear-bias. nothing else, even leave the VDC turned on to maximize vectoring. thing just turns with barely any understeer and no step outs even with summer tires in 18F weather... lol

sounds great too.... until a rock hit da roof BANG!!
luckily only a light chip, no dent who faking cares, dis is a rally car. little roadrash is OK.

one of da top dogs at my work asked if i want to get in on a civic type-r group buy.. like dey order 5 at a time and get a supplier discount or something.

only problem with high power FWD..i cant put all dat power to da ground off da line.. like my GTI currently pulls over 300lbs/ft and it just spins.. anything over 300lbs/ft requires AWD or RWD for street unless its like a truck or something just for hauling.. lol
