I'm not a tire guy. I'm waiting for "ChrisChhorn" to reply to this thread

Personally I bought my car and the dealer had just put Yokohama S.Drives.
No complaints, I've put T/C off and floored it 10-20 times as well as a few canyon runs. I had 17k miles, then I flip flopped the rear TIRES, and I assume to get another 5k miles out of the rears (it'll take me to about 24k [put 1/2k since the flip flop])

So cross-rotating from side to side is good? The dealer doesn't recommend it.

You can't do it on all tires, some have an "outside" and some have a designated rotation direction

Again, I mean I flip flopped JUST the TIRES, so I had the rear tires taken off, then flip the tires from wheel to wheel

(Inside HAD 2/32" because of camber wear, and the outside was 5-6/32". Now the insides are 5-6, and the outside is 2/32")
