2019-03-10 - Hi, I have a staggered set up on my MB CLK It has an open diff and appears to favour one tire over the other indicated by faster wear on the left side. Being staggered I cannot swap tires front to rear to balance tire wear. Can you suggest a tire that can be swapped left to right to balance tire wear on the rear of the car. Tire size is 255/35/18 Thanks in advance Gav.
The RE050A is an asymmetric tire so can be swapped left to right. All asymmetric patterned tires can be, as they are mounted in a certain way on the wheel.
