Winter tire swap...oops?
 
Hi folks,

I put my new Blizzak winter tires on my FR-S on the weekend, unfortunately I was so excited to get them on that I completely forgot to mark on the tires that I took off, which position they came from.

How bad of a mistake is this and what should I do come spring when I should put the tires back on?

Any advice appreciated!

Cheers,
mark

the fabric of our universe will unravel and life as we know it will end

thanks man, thanks a lot.













seriously thought it helps to rotate the tires when you put them back on but it's nothing serious if you don't remember which one went where

All you need to worry about is if u have directional tread, in which case the sidewall will have an arrow on it. No worries!

Just measure the thread and put two most worn (if there any wear at all) in front.

if the tires are directional then they are already sorted left vs right...otherwise who cares,




on another note if you can't tell by the tread depth which ones were fronts and which were rears...you haven't been "enjoying the car" *wink* *wink*

Ah cool. Well the ones I took off were the stock tires, I assume they were directional?

Thanks very much for the prompt replies!
