V8 Sport suspension owners: ROTATE your tires!!

[aus]

This has been discussed on some threads (usually about buying tires), but I don't remember a thread just to warn people about the negative camber in the suspension, partiuclarly the rear wheels on the Sport suspension SAV's. I don't know if the non-Sports have the same negative camber. Since the wheels/tires are staggard, you can't easily rotate them.

I got a full set of Toyo's about 14,000 miles ago and remembered my Micheline's had a LOT of meat left on the outer edge, but were bare on the inner edge. I decided to take them in for a side to side rotation.

After the rotation, I was shocked to see that the tread on the outer edge (previously the inner edge) was about 1/2 a key width in tread depth, while the new inner edge was almost a full key width in depth (virtually like new). I really feel I essentially doubled the life of my tires for $10/corner. I also added a 4 wheel alignment since it was about time.
