Tires on Stinger GT

[Jeff K]

Hey all,
Can anyone give suggestions on what to do (if any) with the front and rear tires over time? I know the front and rear have different widths, so typical tire rotation is out of the picture.

But are there any other suggestions? Is it good to switch sides ever so often with the front tires? And back tires? Or do you just ride all 4 tires out...no switching sides and then just buy all new?

Thanks in advance.

I just switch side to side. Could help can't hurt.

I've had my staggered 19s swapped sides twice in the last c. 8K miles.

If we all just stalked the forum typing "read the manual!" at everyone who comes here there would be no community.

I'm here because I have a passion for the car and actually enjoy helping forum members out when I can. You're here--on a forum for a car you don't even own--to nit pick and police.

If you're that bothered by Stinger owners helping each other maybe it's best that you go volunteer to moderate some other random forum (I hear the Honda Civic forum is looking for help) instead of constantly complaining about the community here.

As others stated switching side to side is okay, however, that only works if you have an asymmetrical tread pattern. If you have a directional tread pattern keeping the tire properly inflated is all you can do to help with tire wear.

Whoops sorry guys, I was just having a bit of a joke. I don’t want to start a fight.

I was just trying to imply that eflguy was softening by giving the chapter and page number instead of saying read the manual. For the record I think read the manual is good advice.

I was trying to make a joke which in retrospect maybe wasn’t that funny. Pls don’t let this be a thing.

I thought it was, and my response to you (including the can-o-tuna) was meant to be as well...
