Flipped front tires

I did like a lot of you said and flipped my front tires (swapped wheels mounted on) and holy crap, it made a world of difference there is no noise at all when I slow down or speed up through 20-30 mph, its gone!!! Now that I know what too do, I suppose every 8k miles on my next tires ill be doing this.


Thanks for the tips everyone!

P.S. Maybe this weekend, ill make some more videos (better than the last!!)

****!

I just whipped my wheels down (got grease and such off)

My right front wheel is fine, just a slight mark but they butchered the *** out of my left front, I am so pissed, I am going back there now to talk to the owner.

Man that sucks, same thing happend to me when I filpped my front tires also, the scratched the right rim... They had someone come out and fixed the rim, can't tell it was ever scratched... Amazing!

I've had both of the front rims repaired, so this makes the 3rd time in the 8 months I've had the car, dang! What the heck could cause the scratches; they are not on the lip of the rim, like the kind you get from curb rash, but just random scratches on the spokes; road debris??? I don't know, I'm just glad they can be repaired.

Good luck with the owner, I hope he does the right thing and your rim comes out as well as mine did.
