2024 Sport tire rotation

[mrutter1]

Wife has just crossed 5k miles, changed oil and went to rotate tires...even pulled the left side to read the back of the rims. There is a A at the end of the part number on one and a B on the other. Both rims are 18x9. The front offset always looked less than the rear but I was optimistic telling myself "nah, they wouldn't have different front and rear wheels when the tires are the same size." Well, horrible memories surfaced as a teenage tire technician when Iroc Z's or GTA's came in the bay for a tire rotation; yep, dismount and remount/rebalance. I will not be doing this to my wife's car. I will begin searching for a pair of OEM rear takeoffs to put on the front.

I was kind of surprised to learn the sport has a square set up 245 all the way around

 

[mrutter1]

Yes, I agree; and then to have rims that are front/rear specific.

Yeah. I was surprised they made the offset different and only keeping the width and tire size the same

Right before I finished reading your post, I was going to offer you a trade my fronts for your rears

So to confirm, you shouldn’t rotate the tires if you have a Sport trim?

Looked at the Owner’s manual and it says not to, so that answers the question.

So, the sport has different offsets between front and rear, but the performance DOESN'T?

the performance has different sizes front and rear, as well as different offsets. OEM tyres are 255 front and 275 rear.
