On many vehicles now-a-days tire or even tyre rotation is a thing of the
past
having been left in a time warp of 1970 ish.
the reason behind this is the move to FWD and the newer train of thought
in
fitting different size/width wheels at each end. My new E65 has wider
wheels at
the rear than the front I know that BMW isn't the only manufacturers that
does
this.
The choice is yours but remember if its a new car the chances are the
front
tires (tyres) won't fit the rear rims.
