When I first bought my Z I was told by the dealer that you do not rotate the tires. I took it in for a 15,000 mile service and they said that they needed to rotate the tires. They said they would have to dismount them and change sides. Was going to be quite pricey. Does anyone know if I should rotate the tires?

 

if your serious...wow, their rippin you off...


all you have to do is take off the lug nuts and swap the left to the right and vise versa then torque them back on

how much were they charging?

 

I am not a mechanic but I am quite sure, wait I am certain you CANNOT do that. You have to actually take the tire off the rim to do that. You cannot just swap tires from left to right?

Am I right folks?

 

zand02max is correct, the tires are directional, if you just swap the wheels with dismounting, tire performance will suffer.

 

take your z back to the dealer and tell them that there is a tsb on the tires for making noise while braking. They will dismount and remount the tires for free or they should.

 

The tires are NOT rotated unless they are NON DIRECTIONAL tires. You have Directional tires if you have your stock wheels and tires.

They do what is called a Tire Swap. They take off the actual tire from the rim and re-mount it on the other side. So now the inside of the tire is now on the out side and vice versa.

Thank you all. I think I will take cuban350Z's advise and if that doesn't work I will go to performance Nissan.
Where is Performance Nissan located? I am north of LA in Simi valley.

Thanks again for the help. I read everything you guys post and I learn a lot.

 

Are you guys gonna make me get my Stealth model out again to do the demo of the tire swap???
