Can't rotate, how fast does your tires worn out?
For those that have different rim's width for front and rear hence you can't rotate your tires so I just wanted to know how fast the tires will worn out? I am debating whether to get different width in the rr or just same all the way around.
Thanks
Thanks

they wear out fast anyway, just do like i did and stagger it, it just looks so much better, the tire wear just has to be accepted until camber kit is made for our cars,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,just suck it up and get the staggered fitment, youll be glad u did

The IS already have camber installed but most of us still having issue with negative camber setting.
Thanks for the help, approximately how many miles until tires needed to be replaced?

Oh no, 20K miles is going to buy me about 7 months, can't afford tires change that fast. Well I guess I have to passed on a good deal on a set of used Volk then. I'll save up to to buy new one where width is the same for all four or just get a cheaper brand
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

I have severe negative camber and my tires will usually last me about 12-15k.
I flip my rear tires by basically having them dismounted from the rim and swapped over to the other side so that the direction is the same. Also my treadwear rating is 280. The higher the treadwear rating just means your tires will last longer.

when i had yokohama avs up front i just had them swap the tires to opposite sides. my rears have no camber problem so theyve just stayed on there for the past 5 years (i forget but i think its been 20k+ miles). my bridgestones started to develop nasty side wall cracks before i could even have them swap sides. the michelin ps2 i currently have up front have only been on for probably 300 miles so i couldn't say how long they last. the bad part about them is they don't appear to be flipable. the side of the tire says which side is outside (tread pattern is different as u go the width of the tire) rather than my yokohama which only has direction to worry about.

If you are interested in iFORGED or DPE wheels, I can order you a same width fitment all around, yet get a larger lip in the rear (depends on rear caliper). So for instance, you can run a 19x8 with a 225/35-19 fr and rear, witha 1" fr lip and 2-2.5" rear lip. You could just remove the tires from the wheels to rotate. (if its really that important to you.)
Visit the following links for more information on the wheels (also see iFORGED link in sig for newest styles for 2005)
