Tire Rotation?

Hi guys!

Blizzaks were put on in November-had 3825 miles then. Going in for the free 5000 miles service on February 4-should I skip the tire rotation?

thanks!

you cannot rotate 2is tires. rear tires are wider than fronts.

Are IS250 AWD tires staggered?

I know you can't front to back but what about right to left?

If they are directional then they can't. I don't think they are tho.
But even if they aren't, it's a hassle to change them.

I have a 350 but I'm pretty sure the stock 250 AWD 17s are 225/45 front and back and can be rotated. There is a package with the 18s not sure if they are staggered.

if you have 18's, yes they are staggered.

you need to dismount/remount them as they are directional tires......

When i did my 5000 service, they told me tire rotation is not included for 2WD IS250 5000 miles free service. I have to pay $50 for each tire since the rear tires are wider and all tires have direction.

most tire places will do the rotation for free. 18's are staggered so no point in rotating them. even if you were to do the rotation i wouldnt let the dealer do it, theyd probably charge and arm and a leg.
