So I got my the Michelins installed and they are a lot quieter and feel softer than the Potenzas.

The tire shop switched my rear wheels and the passager rear wheel that has some curb marks is now on my driver side -_-
I don't want to see the the curb rim every time I get to my car haha. I should be able to switch the rims from side to another right?

As long as they aren't directional you can move them side to side. From the pics they don't look directional but look for an arrow or "left" or "right" on the sidewall if you are unsure.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't think the Michelin A/S 3+ are directional ? and I don't see a left or right marking just the "outside" marking. Maybe I'll just keep it on my driver side and fix the curb rash :0

they are asymetrical. the tires are designed this way to have better wet traction on the inside treads

So I should be fine to switching sides correct?

yes, switching sides doesn't matter, the outside will always stay on the outside and vice versa. just don't flip the tires like directional or symmetrical tires.

Had RC F shift paddles installed, easy to shift with hands in the 10 - 2 position. Also had car washed and waxed.

This hit and run at 5mph. i got hit. he ran. i didn't want anymore damage to my car so i stopped chasing him.
Got his plates and description, Made the police report. Will identify, will press charges.
Luckily it wasn't serious damage. just the front bumper, scuff on the fender, and the parking sensor. no wheel/tire suspension damage.
