Default Tire Rotation

How do we properly rotate the front tires?

The wear on the outer wall s is slighly more than the inner right now, so I want to rotate.

You don't. The S02's are unidirectional tires.

They can't be rotated! The setup of the car is that they wear that way. Check the tire pressure and make sure its okay and that's the best you can do.

Someone in another thread said you can dismount the tires and move them to rim on the other side. This would keep them rolling in same direction, but make the inner wall the outer wall, and vice-versa.

Can you do this?

I think you are referring to xviper's post, he's the one who did it for his rear tires and I believe he says that it is perfectly fine just make sure you get the tire rebalanced.

As long as you dismount them and then point them in the correct direction you will be fine. I don't think you will come out ahead because you are going to have to pay for the mount and balance.
