RE: staggard wheels for quattro
I'm trying to understand this two reasons...? Why would you get poor balance and steering wheel shakes if you don't rotate your tires? No offense but this make no sense. Only reason people rotate the tires is to prolong the life of the tires. Sometimes, you should NOT rotate on certain cars because of camber setup. By doing so, you will throw off the alignment. All my cars except the Audi A6 have staggered setup... They all have directionals so I cannot rotate. I never once have balance or shakes do to not rotating tires. Most likely, it would be other way around by rotating that will cause more issues...

ya what he^said, if you are just going for looks keep this in mind, if you go staggered using directional tires then that means you can never rotate your wheels, leading to premature tire wear and uneven tire wear witch = shortening the tire life, poor balance and steering wheel shakes.

the roads in the US are made so that they lean one way. your car doesnt sit even, cuz most of the time its just the driver, so one side is heavier. plus it depends on how and where you drive, if you take more right turns than left. camber has nothing to do with that, if it was set correctly.

I have never seen driver side tires worn more than passenger side tires or other way around… I’m not saying this would never happen but never seen it before… This is my first Audi but I have owned many BMWs (currently 2 BMWs – M3 and 525i) and rears on these cars have much greater negative camber than the fronts. It is common for inner part of rear tires to wear faster on BMWs as they are aligned this way for better handling… If I would have put those rears to the front, that would throw off my alignment completely…
