Tire Rotation

[canadal]

Probably a stupid question but I have a 2024 Sport and would like to rotate the tires (wheels and tires are stock) however my manual says they cannot be rotated due to differing wheel size and spacing front to back. This is not the case with the stock wheels and tires on the Sport correct?

Still can't rotate front to rear, offsets are different, even though sizes are the same.

 

[canadal]

Thanks for that!

Flip them side-to-side.

 

[canadal]

Thanks, that’s what I’ll do.

To minimize camber wear, when flipping side to side still need to dismount and re-mount flipped 180 deg, meaning the inside edges will now become the outside edges.

The tires are asymmetrical meaning they have an inside and an outside.

Yeah, I saw that. Was originally planning on going front to back (same side).

Didn't know the OEM 18s are also asym, next set of tires may not be, can be rotated even better for long life.

The stock Sport tires are so d0g$#!+, save the $ from unmount, remount, balance, and get new tires.

They'll be worn out by 9000 miles.

I’ve got a 24 Sport, the rears were worn out at 9000 also, my fronts were still in pretty good shape. I had the rears removed, the fronts removed and put on the rear. I had Michelin PS4’s put on the front, I can’t afford to ditch tires with good tread. I’ll stay out of the canyons for a bit until the stock Advans are worn out and put 2 more PS4’s on.

Side note, my cousin works for Nissan, it was his corporate car. We had to go thru a dealer to change the title over and he had the dealer put new rears on it for me. We didn’t notice but the dealer service team “rotated” the tires front to back and I drove 2000 miles home with them like that.

I didn’t have any trouble on the road driving speed limits. I did stretch her legs once to 134 and had no problems, definitely not a recommendation just relaying my experience. When I got home I noticed it looked off. A little digging for info and I swapped them back. I was pretty irritated and let him know what they did.

Moral of the story, read the manual and use the forum. I google info for my car and NissanZclub forum info is always at the top of the results.

An old urban legend claimed some high performance street tires didn't like having their travel direction reversed. Having different F & R wheel offsets for the same rims used on the Z Sport is diabolical!
