PSA: forget tire rotations!

EDITED, please forget tire rotations on BMW's because they actually do not recommend them, and there have been reports of compromised high speed stability...so please disregard below.

Dont forget your tire rotations, guys!

I put off my tire rotations and recently started to hear a slight thumping on slowing down.

Visual inspection showed a bit of heel/toe wear developing on the inner rears.

I have the 19" staggered sports package on my truck so I couldnt do a standard rotation.

I have OEM non-directional Turanzas so I crossed my fingers, and had the rear tires dismounted, flipped over, and balanced. *Luckily, it eliminated the thumping. *

Whew!
