Default carbon fiber hood w/vent & staggered wheels

1. I 'm looking at putting carbon fiber hood with vents on my next sc but I hardly see anyone rolling with it on here, so any comments or suggestion on that?

2. I had staggered wheels 245/35/19 & 275/30/19 on my old '95 sc 400 before I wrecked it but I went thru good tired in few months when I say good im talking about michellin pilot sport tires 2 sets like twice all worn out within one year but the tire shops keeping telling me as long as I stick with staggered wheels I should always be saving up for tires, so guys any tricks to let the tires last longer if they staggered? and I was told they cant rotate staggered wheels ? is that true or any tricks out there? I need to know before I start my next set up

Only way i see it is, say you have a uni direction tread, then you cant rotate. But if you have a tread on the tire that can work normal, forwards or backwards, then i can see you switch them only between the two fronts or the two backs, no front and back allowed.

That's correct.


You don't have to burn through so much tire just because you have a staggered setup. That doesn't make any sense. Pick a better tire for wear as opposed to performance (if you want the performance solely, then thats the trade-off you have with tire life) and go easy on the gas
Also make sure tires are always properly inflated.
