So I just got a wheel alignment and tire rotation... I have the Falken 512s, which are directional tires.

My issue is that, the garage wasn't able to rotate my back left tire because the lug nut was stripped or something. So they basically rotated only my right side, (back right to front right), and they didn't do the left side. They aligned my car well though, so it drives tight and real striaght.

The mechanic said there shouldnt' be any real problems by doing only a half rotation. My tires are about 4,000 miles or so on them already. Will there by any real trouble from the half rotation (like differnce in treadwear, etc, etc)?

I do plan to get this fixed in 2 weeks, so they will be able to rotate it then.

But for the time being, any potential issues that you guys might see?

 

It should not matter for that short period of time. As long as you don't go driving crazy.

 

shouldnt be a problem, unless you end up getting a flat in that tire. b/c that would just plain suck

 

yeah, i know. if i get a flat on that tire, i'm screewwwwed... it's tow truck time.

so should be good then for the 2 weeks until i get it fixed... whew.
