Ok I have a question about tires that I have never seen addressed. Currently I have a G37S. It is slammed right now and i am chewing up the inside of my tires. The oem Tires are Stone Re050a's. Now they have an outside and inside. What would be the adverse effects of taking the inside and making it the outside so I am now wearing what would be the current outside(good side of the tire)? hope this makes sense.

 

get an alignment and adjust the camber setting. If i'm correct re050a is directional tire, so you can only rotate tires back and forth. However, G35 run stagger set up (front and rear are different size) so you can't rotate it. Basically you're going to have to put up with that, unless you change the camber setting or raise it back up and/or get harder compound tire, I'm pretty sure you want max grip so..

 

You can "flip" your tires.

take your car to an installer and have them unmount/flip/remount those tires. so your worn inside tire will be outside.

 

Left tire becomes right tire, right becomes left.

 

Yes this is what I am asking. I know I cant rotate the tires that was not what i was asking. I want to flip the tires from left to right like I did on my S2000. The problem is the tire's have an outside and inside. So if I flip the tires the part that is suppose to be on the outside will not be inside. This is what I am trying to find out if there are any adverse effects of doing this. I cant adjust the camber on this platform, its not adjustable...

 

Jim?

 

I wouldn't have any qualms about running them with the "wrong" side out. It's not like the car will go back in time or explode or anything.

 

i think the water grooves are towards the "inside" of the tire. should be okay as long as you stay out of the water.

 

thisnk about this....if there is an "outside" and an "inside" to the tire you cant get away with this. the inside is always gonna be on the inside.

whats with teh crazy ass alignment? are you worried about bump steer and snap oversteer?

 

Not at all. You take the tire off the rim from its correct postion of outside out inside in. You flip the tire over and put outside in and inside out. I dont have a crazy alignment. The G37 is new so their are very little parts aval for it. I had to use tein springs form a G35 coupe since tein has released nothing for the 37 yet. Once A few coilovers come out for it I will get a pair.
