Default quick rotating tires question

Hey Guys,

Quick question. Since, the rear tires are wider than the front tires. How does one go about rotating them?

Thanks!

Oh , i thought i was even told by the sales person that I should rotate and i was like wondering how that would work. So that means we don't get as much life out of the tires?

Exactly. No rotation of tires - the only thing you could do would be maybe remount the lefts and the rights on the opposite side. You'd have to remove the tire from the wheel, however, as the stock tires have directional tread. Oh, and don't ever listen to what salesmen tell you about maintaining and servicing your car. Ask the service advisors if you're already at the dealership.
