Should I be frustrated or am I wrong?

[Q6543]

Junkyard, I don’t even drive mine enough to bother with that, I’ve put maybe 200 miles on it this summer and it’s almost the 4th, gonna plan a road trip up north in a few weeks, definitely want to go back to the track again

but me and all my friends have gotten way too seriously into golf, it’s completely replaced racing and a lot of car stuff I used to do, has me in the best shape of my life

It can help if you’re trying eke out miles on your tires, but not sure how much on this car.

Agree, my e90 M3 has staggered, unidirectional tires (so no rotations) but am now at 70k miles and have never had a set of tires that wasn't almost identically worn on each corner. Only difference is that fronts get about 25% more mileage than rears.

No beers and walking the course?

So if I don't have the performance pack but have 20" wheels. I moved fronts to rears. I assume all the rims are the same.. No harm done, right? I do not really care about tire wear and did it mostly to clean the calipers and inside the rims.

You don't need to assume, the size is printed right on the tires. Fronts, you move to the rear and swap sides, move the rears to the front on the same side.

Shouldn't rapid tyre wear be a badge of honour, like miserable mpg?

YES!

That type of driving is what the "Track Attack" was for, beat on those FPRS cars. My ride is driven like and by "an old man" my car has not ever seen 3,500 RPM's under my watch.

I'm an old retired guy with a Dark Horse that is Whippled I cruise at 3000 rpm go to 6900 rpm if I'm pushing it.

Rotating tires was never really a thing. They just came up with a service to trick people out of their money, like getting fluoride treatment at the dentist, or airing them up with nitrogen

I used to go to the Internet for useful information. Now it's just for entertainment.

Mine rotate every time we drive, repositioning compensates a multitude of misalignments.

left/right for mismatched sizes, front to rear opposite side for all the same. Although that always goes out the window when a flat occurs - which slot does the new rubber replace (oh no now that axle is mismatched- humph).

use ‘em as you wish just acknowledge an inner or an outter may wear quicker when constant maximum load is applied.
