I rotate all the way around when I swap from winter to summer and summer to winter. I put about 3,500 miles on the winter set each season and probably closer to 4k on the summer set per year. I’m on year 4 of my winter tires (between two different Mustangs) and all 4 are wearing evenly. I expect to get the full 6ish years out of them before I need to get new ones. They will time out before they get worn out because I just don’t put a ton of miles on them. Same for the summer set.

Im still on the factory alignment, I am planning to get a better alignment done this summer just to improve handling a little bit because I do like to go on spirited drives.

I don’t know if that’s the best example but it’s what I got. Probably need a test group that full rotates and one that doesn’t, similar alignments and similar driving styles to see if it really makes a noticeable difference. I would also want to run the math to see if changing out 2 tires every 3-4 years instead of all 4 every 6ish years makes sense over the long term. In theory it should be about the same but it would really depend if the tires that aren’t fully rotated are wearing faster than normal. But that’s kinda the whole point of the experiment anyways 🤣
I have 305's on all corners no spacers and stock wheels
It's a bit of a squeeze on the front 10.5" wheels but not the end of the world. No rubbing? I get slight burn streaks in the fender liner with 305's up front and R spec fronts (on slight lowering springs).

And sorry, I just realized this is in the 350 section, thought it was in the wheel/tire section. Phone app hides that info on the main page 🤦‍♂️. I think my rotation experience can translate to your cars but you all are probably running a little different alignment specs than I am so your tires are going to wear a little different than mine. Anyway, hope my experience helps.

Are you running a 305/35-19 or 305/30-19 up front? Shouldn't be any rubbing at all with the 305/30. Shouldn't any with thr 305/35 unless you're running next to no camber and are really lowered.

What’s your drop from stock on your current springs?
