Dealer Roates 19" Staggered Wheels
I had my A-1 service, done and told them to not rotate the tires.
I have a staggered set up, so 275/30/19 in the rear and 245/35/19 in the front.
My wife has driven the car for the last week, put maybe a 1K in miles on, was looking at the car this am, and notice that the huge lip is in the front.
The dopes rotated the tires, but the large in the front and small in the rear.
I don't see any damage, but am going to make them put them back on correctly in the am.

wow that was pretty dumb from them....
btw, honestly i dont see the point of having a staggered setup on a FWD car... and 275 on top of that... you're not driving a ferrari man... all the extra weight/$ for nothing

I had my TL in not to long ago and told them not to touch the 19's. I decide to check my tire pressure a week later and find they let the air out to drop them back to 32PSI (EL-42s), when the recommended tire pressure for my 19's is 52PSI.

If not, where did you find the recommended tire pressure for your tires, and what size tires are they?

Sorry, you're right, 52PSI is the max pressure, I usually run just under 50PSI. Should I be running lower than that, how low can the pressure be before I will start causing tire problems? I figured running at 32PSI wasn't the best for the tires.

The good thing about having a "reverse stagger" is that it'll definitely help the problem of understeer... In matter of fact, the reverse stagger is receiving attention as mentioned in Dec's issue of Modified Mag.
