Hey,

When I spoke to a service person at my dealership, they indicated that I should NEVER rotate the tires, because it would screw up the alignment. Is this accurate?? I hope to go at least 30,000 miles on my tires, but I think the front will wear faster.
THANKS!

Most BMW's Don't wear the tires faster on the front or rear because of the way the cars are set up. I have an E30 and my tires have always worn evenly without rotation. Jim


Jim - thanks for your feedback. But now that I have 4 winter tires on my E46, do I put the non-winter tires back where they were before the snows were installed - since it may be 5,000 miles since I took them off? where do I install the snows next winter? THANX!
