Default Rotating tires on the S2000

I've been considering rotating my tires (side to side) on my S. Does anyone do this? Is it recommended or not? My tires aren't directional so it should be ok.

I run a staggered setup so obviously front to back rotation is out. All four tires seem to be wearing very uniformly, but I thought side to side rotation might help to ensure even wear.

If your tires are wearing evenly I wouldn't worry about it. Side-to-side rotations are much less useful as the tires are still wearing in the same way as before, just on the opposite side of the vehicle. Since you have asymmetrical tires they cannot be flipped to even out edge wear either. I would just leave them if I were you.

I've got the same tires as you. I did a side-to-side rotation on mine only because it's included in my all-inclusive balancing/rotation checkup at the retailer.

At 6k I didn't notice any uneven wear at all but still had it done. I suppose if you had feathering on the treadblock edges it may help (after a proper alignment of course), but the PSS have chamfered edges on the treadblocks, so I don't think feathering would ever be an issue like it would be on directional tread.

The only benefit I can see would be for a track car. Otherwise I think you are wasting your time.
