yes the factory 19' RAYS look damn good imho and we all know how loud the bridgestone tires are but my 09 just turned over 20,000. i know i daily drive
but the dang tires still have over half the tread left. i bet i get another 6 or 7
thousand out of them. i don't know if thats good or bad news.

i know a lot will say its all BS but the only thing iv'e done is rotate from side to side. and the tread wears very even...
Rotate? Isn't it directional?

I don't think it does, but it's kind of pointless. They should be wearing the same amount technically.

I thought inner should be wearing more than outside b/c of negative camber

you don't have to unmount the wheels just swap each
around. right to left left to right. most will say it's a
waste of time but IMHO it helps if your trying to get
the most from your tires

They're not, there only is an "inside" and "outside" sidewall. So that's why you can swap wheels left to right and right to left.

Stock camber on our cars is pretty mild. They will wear almost even.

They are asymmetrical, not directional. Rotating from side to side doesn't do anything unless you have a bad alignment.
