Default Rotation question
driver side tires are more worn then passenger side tires because of bad shock absorbers, should i rotate them the way i normally would, or do a cris-cross

Default you might only be able to go front to back same side.
It depends on your tires, I see you have the sport package your tires maybe directional..

if you have directional tires, front to back only. If you have non-directional cris-cross.

Default Plus he could always remount the tires if they are directional, right?
I'd be scared of them scratching my rims though.

Default I always that remounting a tire is a bad idea because you can degrade the strength of the sidewalls.
that and the fact that it probably cost more to unmount, remount, and rebalance the tire as opposed to swapping em front to back.
