Staggered Tires - Rotation Necessary?

[Djfranktank]

So I’m rocking an RZ with staggered tires and I’m kinda on the fence about whether I should rotate them. Some people say it’s a no-go, but is anyone here tried rotating their staggered tires side to side? Did you see any changes in wear or performance?

No you should not. That's the reason why it's using a staggered setup. Never ever rotate different sized tires from front to back, even on the same side.

I’ve been in the same boat wondering about this! For staggered setups, I’ve heard mixed opinions, but a side-to-side rotation can help if your fronts or rears are wearing unevenly. I tried it, and it did extend my tire life a little, but you might not see a big change in performance. I’d say go for it if you’re starting to see wear on one side more than the other, but otherwise, you might be fine without rotating!

I wouldn’t rotate staggered tires side to side, they’re designed for different sizes and handling. But hey, if you want to experiment, just make sure you’re not turning your car into a circus act!
