My guess would be tire rotation, cost effective!

the cost savings will not be amazing taking into account u have spend the time and money to go down to the shop to get it cross rotated.

there are people who go fast on staggered and those who go fast non staggered. The devil is in the details of the setup.

Oh... you could just rotate the tires yourself. Just need a jack and some jack stands. Takes about 20 minutes total to rotate all four and that's being conservative.

I wrote and meant cross rotated.. What you are talking is a front to rear rotation. I have the rear left tyre become the front right tyre and so on which requires dismounting the tyre from the rim. In doing so, you even out the wear.

Why would you take the tire off the wheel to rotate it? I would only do this if you need to flip it because of camber wear. Otherwise just use asymmetric tires that can go either direction or just have your directional tires facing backwards (as long as you don't drive through any standing water)

Where I live, heavy rain is quite common so it's best to have a directional tyre properly rotated.
