I'm looking at a car that has deep dishes in the back and not in the front, so obviously the guy is probably running different tire sizes. So to anybody running a setup like this, my question is since you can't rotate them, how unevenly and how much faster do the tires wear out? Thanks.

Depends how you drive. My front tires wear much faster than the rears on all my cars. I take corners (expressway on/off ramps, etc) really hard all the time, but rarely burn the rear tires on purpose. I rotate them every oil change, but still have noticeable wear each time.

If you drive like a normal person and your suspension is in good condition, aligned properly, etc, then your tires should be OK not being rotated.

 

I run a staggered set-up as well as many, including Mike above.

You will VERY likely get un-even wear and not get the most out of your tires. I have found that fronts will usually be dead prior to rears, but not by a whole lot. I too enjoy a good corner and one look at my gallery will tell you JUST how much

If I pro-rate the remaining tread left on tires you are replacing due to wear on fronts, it is worth it to me. BTW, my tires aren't even remotely in-expensive

I say.... go staggered!.... While your at it, go stag too. Even better yet, put the keys away, get a good bottle of tequila and stagger all about the house!

Good times for Jazzer

 

Yeah, the look alone is worth a little loss on tire mileage lol, as long as its not a huge loss in tire life.

 

It all depends on how you drive
