MYP tire rotation
- Thread starter OCR1

Thanks for helping my brain, MPSAS4 is not directional, but is asymmetrical, meaning different inner edge than outer
hence why you cannot flip on the rim
so back to what we all thought originally, you can only swap the wheel/tire side to side and not fix the negative camber wear by removing and flipping the tire
unless you install the adj upper arms on the rear
Not bothering. No significant benefit to tread life, possible harm to handling and identifying suspension problems. BMW and Volvo and Carguys recommend against it. Just leave it or just swap summer and winter tires.
FWIW, here is the excerpt from the Tesla owner’s manual:
Vehicles with staggered wheels and non-directional tires can be rotated side-to-side (left-to-right) but not front-to-back as the front and rear tire size is different. Left-to-right rotation can increase tread life by changing the direction of rotation for each tire and balancing shoulder wear.
Square setup is best for a car like ours with a 50/50 weight balance. It also lets you rotate tires increasing total life.
The best thing to do is make sure your alignment settings are set for the best wear for your driving style. It should also be done with your weight in the drivers seat.
I just had an alignment done. I zeroed out the toe front and rear. Running -0.8 front and -0.9 rear camber. The more and faster you corner the more camber you need for even wear. That's why track cars need -3 deg.
Launching the car adds -2ish camber to the rear tires and if you start at -2 you will eat tires.

Haha. Is that the first time in this thread that the manual was quoted?
Most likely an aftermarket square 20" setup. This is one of the most common mods for our MYP clients.

Some may disagree but the only way to get a wheel alignment on an MYP is to buy and install a Rear Wheels Camber Kit.
I bought mine from Amazon and had it installed at my tire shop. Total cost about $400 including alignment

NM.. sorry I commented, I’ll just keep my information to myself and continue to enjoy my wheel alignment and even wear of my rear 21’ tires..

Here is the Tesla service instruction for staggered wheel setups found here:
"Vehicles with staggered wheels and non-directional tires can be rotated side-to-side (left-to-right) but not front-to-back as the front and rear tire size is different. Left-to-right rotation can increase tread life by changing the direction of rotation for each tire and balancing shoulder wear."

Yes. There are several other good ones but mountain pass was my pick. Check out ZEV electric YouTube. They have great information on suspension.
