Question about tire rotation on 05 STi with stock re070's... *help*
Hey guys, i have 5,600k miles on my stock tires, and i havnt rotated them yet, they are significantly worn (9 autox events, and 2 trackdays) i skipped rotating them 2 times because of the rear tires being cupped from the trackdays. But anyway i think im desperate now to get these things rotated. Take a look at these pictures and tell me if i should rotate them, and if so in what pattern.
either this pattern: OR Here are my tires... sorry about lack of photo quality, but maybe you can help me out. Thanks! front left front left #2 pic (the fronts are identicle, except my front left had some tire flake off from the trackdays, circled in red) rear left rear right

I just do front to rear, rear to front, but on the same side. (with directional tires)
070s you could do either of the 2 picts you posted, or just go front to rear. |

Rotation pattern doesn't make much difference when you are chewing them up that fast. I would just put the one with the most tread on the front left. 2nd most front right, 3rd most rear left. Re-evaluate before your next event if you know you will have a higher percentage of left vs right turns.

I usually did figure C with my RE070. The tires are asymetric, so it doesn't matter which side they are on. However, since you delayed so long, I would put the tires with the most tread on the front.
