HAHA, I'm still serious about the rotating of the tires though.

I pay someone to rotate my tires, because I have them balanced at the same time.


I used to shuck tires for 3 years and I have to say that the stock tires I'm on have worn pretty dern even. I've been highly impressed with the lack of shacking from the balance of the tires. I'm sure the balance is off, but I feel no vibrations at all. And since I can't stand Goodyear tires with a passion, then I can't wait to get rid of them and get some quality tires on the box.


But your still running steelies and I'm on 501's. They use the adhesive weights which don't always stay on. You can't possibly hate Goodyears as much as I do. The only reason they're still on the box is because I couldn't afford new tires when i got the wheels. If they're like every other Goodyear I've ever had, they'll be gone in the next 10K. Then I'm putting some BFG's on. I can even get those with raised white lettering (Bonus).

Well, mounting and balancing Goodyear tires sucked. It wasn't hard, it's just that their rubber is so soft and the sidewalls not thick causing the tires to NEVER spin evenly. Oh, and did I fail to mention how most of the cars that had tire wear were running Goodyears? No matter what car or how perfect their alignment, those tires would always come back cupped.

I'll be the 1st to say if you roll after market wheels and don't have the appropriate tire size (which most people never do) you will absolutely need to rotate your tires to get full life from them. Now unless you have AWD your vehicle will eat away quicker at the two driving wheel tires, especially if its FWD because you use the same tires to steer as well as for power.
