Tire rotation recommendations

[mach2k]

Set up is staggered.... 255/40R19 front and 275/40R19 rears and not directional on original Michelins. Checking for advice if there are any disadvantages to a side - side rotation.

There are no disadvantages to side to side rotation, that's how it's done on all cars that have staggered setups.

Unless you have directional tires which I'd say most staggered setups do.

I think most factory setups are non-directional staggered. Both the Pirelli and PS4S are.

Who even does summer performance tires with direction? It's quite common on winter tires, some are even switching to it for new models like Michelin Pilot Alpin 5, but summer performance tires are usually asymmetric from what I saw when doing my research, at least the good brands.

Couldn't tell ya. I was just responding that it's usually not the case with staggered as far as factory setups go. I think my summer Hankooks on my Infiniti were directional, but I honestly can't remember.

Most factory staggered setups that I’ve seen lately use non-directional tread patterns so you can rotate them, all the OEM S550 staggered setups use non-directional tread patterns as far as I know.
