Wich one is staggered :shrug:

Staggered set up would be the PP option, wider in the rear!

Staggered isn't show in there and would be what a lot of guys here have, it is where you can only move side to side (and the tires have to be symmetrical).

Staggered here so no rotating for me.

I don't rotate tires. When the front tires on my F350 wear out, I but 2 new tires and put them on the rear, and the new tires go to the front. I would rather spend $500 at a time instead of $1000. I'm staggered on the mustang, so I only rotate in a circle.

UGGH didn't consider the Staggered PP option, My Bad :headbonk:


Any who, please Vote if you don't have a PP car

Kind of old thread. But didn't provide solution.
So, let me ask this question again.
I had many cars in my life. However, GT350 is my first car with different tire sizes. As far as I know the rear tires are wearing faster than front. Then if you need to change rear tires all tires need to be change due to uneven thread pattern? So, the question is what are you doing to wear tires evenly front and rear? Or you just change them all together when rear worn out?

When my rear tires wear out, I just buy the 2 I need. I buy the same brand and model to match the front. I run the same size tires on the front as the rears, 275/40/19. When I travel, this allows me to carry 1 tire in case I get a flat.

if you can fit the same size tire front and rear (even tho the wheels are 1/2” different widths), then you can do one mid-life tire dismount and cycle the front tires to the back.

Yes that's one of the options. But I rather change set of worn rear tires and keep original specifications.

Those first two are def not how they taught us to rotate tires in my auto mechanics class...

I don't understand the last two. Why would that matter at all for what drivetrain you have? Either way you're rotating tires all around after multiple rotations.
Square set up ftw here; it's why I put 285's in the back as well as the front!

I'm going with OEM setup on my GT350 which is 295/35/19 front and 305/35/19 rear. I'm not going to rotate anything, just replacing worn tires. First rear then, when needed front.
