Default Need flip rotation on 2003 track w 7500 miles

Hey guys I posted this in the regional forums but I thought I'd post it here also.


"I live in the Central FL area and wondered if anyone could give a suggestion for me to get my front tires flip rotated because of the feathering. I knew about the feathering long ago but I don't drive it on a regular basis and was hesitant to go in to get it adjusted. I think I can still save the tires if I get them flipped then realigned.

I called a Nissan dealer but they wanted to charge me 200.00 which seemed really high. I checked a couple tire shops but they don't want to deal with the transponders and possible wheel damage. Does anyone know of a good shop or dealer that really takes care of Zs on a regular basis."

Thanks!

Swapping the front tires should be about $40. Note: if the tires are noisy, swapping them will NOT cure the noise. I tried it.

I figured the dealer was trying to rob me that is why I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion or input on the matter. Remember my car only has 7500 miles on it and if I flip the tires and align it it might buy me more time on the tires. The noise I can live with and will eventually get adj upper a arms anyway.

I just dont want my rims scarred or scraped if I can help it.

And btw on the nissan help website it shows that you DO have to remove the TPS and states damage may occur if you don't remove before dismounting.
