2015 GS F SPORT- AWD VS RWD Staggered Rim Size??
Hi, When I got my 15 AWD GS F Sport, was told that I cannot rotate the tires because of the staggered rim sizes. Oddly though I have the same size tires on all 4 wheels which is 235/40r19 Michelin Primacy MXM4. Today a tire shop said that I can rotate the tires because only the RWD F Sport models has the staggered setup. To make matters more confusing my car came with a sticker on the rear passenger window stating to expect 15k miles or less on these tires which doesn't make sense, I'm not sure who is correct here, advise please. Thank you

It is true that only the RWD F Sports have the staggered setup and the AWD models have the same size all around. This means your tires can be rotated.
As for the 15k warning sticker, this is not related to whether or not the tires can be rotated (though rotating can help with tire life), but comes from the fact that these are simply not high mileage tires.

Question on AWD Staggered Setup
Hello Everyone,
Anybody else have an AWD with 235/40/19-front and 265/35/19-rear setup out there? Any issues?
I just bought a RC 350F wheels and tires and replaced my 235/45/18 factory setup. After about a 1000 miles, handling seemed to improve but the Bridgestone tires that came with the wheels are not as grippy as my factory Dunlops on corners. The drive is still smooth and comfortable but I can't wait for different set of tires installed because these Bridgestones are as noisy as the Dunlops.
