Default zr1 tire rotation

Does anyone know if you can rotate the tires on a zr1? And I don't mean front to rear..... Abviously.

Thanks, Robert

I have done ours on the Z06 and our current ZR1 ... side to side. Mark the stud that lines up with the valve stem so you can put them back in case you have the "dreaded vibration". Look for post under my user for more information..... including http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...post1579066010

Sure you can rotate them. Put the car in 1 st gear release the clutch and hit the gas. Cool smoke show.

Rover.... The OP asked about "ZR1 Tires" ..... your profile doesn't show you own one.
Maybe you need to go MILK MORE COWs .... your response added NO VALUE ...
OOP's.. now I have one that added no value!

Yep - you can swap them side-to-side.

They show on the sidewall which side should be "out", but they are not directional, so they can roll in either direction.

Butt.....after you swap them, your DIC display of pressures will be off.

The pressures will display okay, it's just that if the DIC says "Right Rear 22 psi" it will actually be talking about the Left Rear.

You can either reprogram the tire pressure sensors, or just be aware that the indication of side is backwards.

IMHO it ain't worth the effort, especially if you have a vibration free Z
