Rotating Front wheels

[rcturner]

Recently I had our Venza serviced and the tires rotated. That got me to thinking about our two Spyder RT's.

I talked to a tech at another dealership (I was just browsing around) and mentioned rotating the front wheels on the Spyder and he told me that could not be done as the tires are directional.

I haven't talked to my regular Spyder dealer yet but I can't find arrows on the tires that say they are directional.

Was this guy right?

If you haven't adjusted the front suspension yet, do that first. The alignment may not be necessary if the ride height is corrected.

I have a 08 RS with 11750 miles on it. I do not rotate tires. And every thing is fine as frog hair

TOTAL AGREEMENT

This is a very expensive, time consuming and unnecessary approach. If your front tires are wearing unevenly, you have an alignment problem. But 'rotating' them often you are simply spreading the problem evenly across the tread. You're still not getting the tire mileage you could get, and it's costing you (probably more than a new set of tires over time).

Not to mention that steering, tracking and stability are also compromised.

Get a laser alignment. You'll be way ahead on several different levels if you do.

Can I have an AMEN .........Mike :thumbup:
