I'm getting Goodyear sport all season tires. Should I leave them staggard?
RS Camaro factory tires

I went with 20 by 10 inches all the way around.

Insaniak · 10-02-2015, 07:09 PM

If I went 10 inch I'd need new rims

I use Proxes s4's (all seasons) on the rs rims. It's ok to leave them staggered sizes

When I need new tires I'm thinking of squaring it up. I don't like the uneven wear aspect of having staggered tires.

Yes, just go with the stock original equipment sizes.

How you want it is entirely up to you. Can you put the same size tires all around on factory staggard rims? No. Can you get all the same size rims and put the same size tire all around? Yes.
Lots of us have purchased some used factory 20x9's and squared it up. Its a great improvement in handling.

Unless you're going to buy at least two new wheels, you're best off sticking with the OE tire sizes. Especially so, given that you have settled on that particular tire make and model.

Great time to get new rims too! I am running ZL1 factory rims with 35x315's in the rear and 40x275 front in all season and love the set up.

It depends if you like to turn or like straight line stuff.

Straight Line = Staggered
Twisties = Squared

If you're budget conscious, get squared tires for rotation purposes - no need to go expensive, especially if you don't plan to drive hard.

Best explain action I ever hear, summed it up quick and accurate!

Insaniak · 10-03-2015, 02:29 PM

Thanks guys my rims aren't stock they are 20x8.5 all around with stock tires. So I could get away with 9 squared tires. What would that do to the looks compared to staggard? From what it sounds like staggered is really only good for take offs In straight lines it seems I'd be better to go with square 9s for rotation ability and cornering

For me having a 12" wide tire in the rear just looks awesome!
