I just came from the dealership and they suggested I rotate my tires. Now I've seen postings on the board saying you cannot rotate the tires for the Z. Is that only for grand touring? I currently have the BASE 350Z. Thanks for anyones help!

 

cant rotate F to R but u can do L to R if ur tires are not directional but that really dosnt do much u got to un mount them and remount them with their perspective opposit.

 

You cannot rotate front to back or vice versa!!

 

Yes. If the tires are wearing properly, the cost exceeds the potential benefits.

 

you guys ever heard of flipping the tires?

 

You cannot do Front to Rear because your tires are most likely different widths, and then you would be running wider in the front than the back. And that would be retarded, unless you want ****ty launching and amazing understeer!!!!!


And you can't switch sides cause then the tires will rotate the oppostite direction that they are used to, and they will explode. Haha.

So the easy answer is no, not on Z.

 

Yes here is the thread:

That is what I do. I figure since I am spending so much for a set of tires, paying for one rotation about half way through is well worth it.

Totally off topic...
Anna went premium! BTW, are you going to HIN on 4/21?

 

*BUZZZZZ* Wrong! The easy answer is yes. You can switch the sides the tires are mounted on, without messing up the rotation direction, it is done all the time. I believe I was quoted $35 to do the tire swap rotation. You could do the really easy thing though, and just go beat the **** out of the z for a little and wear the outsides even to the insides

Just thought I would fix the "tire blow up" wrong direction theory while I'm at it. Putting tires on with the wrong direction will NOT cause it to blow up. The only difference will be it will not perform the way it should, but it's not going to blow up when you drive on it.

 

as already said:

you CANNOT rotate front to back..
left to right rotations are fine

OFF TOPIC-
anna got free premium because of her photoshoot
4/21 is my b'day

 

I hadn't made plans cause I don't have anyone to go with, but I have been wanting to go. Are you? Hmm I need to find someone around here to go with.

 

I know I don't seriously think they blow up haha! But I thought it was pretty bad for them to be driven the opposite way they are used to, at normal driving conditions (not just like reverse). Hmmm!
