Does your steering wheel vibrate or shake as well?
You can rotate if you really have to.
Rotate left to right but switch the tires... MEANING: dismount and remount off of the wheel. So that the inside of the right tire is now the outside of the left tire.

I Dislike Bridgestone
I have potenzas, I sent Bridgestone an email saying that I was disatisified with them and they nothing to make me feel better lol. Where is the customer support and satisfaction when you needed so I will not be buying them again. What are the 2010 convo. I still have bridgestones on the rear ( i just purchased them last year) but the fronts have low threads. Will i loose performance or damdage my car if i have another brand on the front?

There is your problem...When you buy tires make sure dont be cheap cause if you do then it will result in poor grip and loud *** tires...Go on tirerack.com and read customer ratings and comments on each tire before you buy...yokohoma avid envigor are real good fairly decent priced tires.

Look at the tire thread to see if it is "cupped" or "feathered" (worn unevenly across the tire). I'm guessing that is what happened.
I wasted a good set of tires on my first car because I never rotated them for even wear. As a result, the rear tire were feathered and I rotated them too late. Being a FWD with the feathered tire, it was extremely noisy. But I can see in your case, it would be difficult to rotate.

falkens are known to be loud,they grip but loud...shaking can be due to wheels being off balance so go get them rebalanced and it should go away.If not then get some hub centric rings.

good suggestion...
Rotating the tires side to side? Do you think this will cause any issues?

Check your tires if they are directional. If not, you can rotate it side to side without dismount and remount. These are some tires that are non directional...Continental Extreme Contact DW, Goodyear F1 Assym,
Bridgestone RE050, and the Michelin PS2. In your case, its too late to do anything except to replace it. Check with tirerack if they have the sizes that you want. I also notice that the 2010 IS's have non directional tires from the factory. More and more tiremakers now are making nondirectional tires.
