[s-cars] Re: OEM 16x8 5 spoke wheels & ECS Stage II

[DOUGLAS LANDAETA]

Ken,

Off the fence for now - I'm keeping the refinished 16" and the new
Toyos for a while.

Since the wheels/tires are new, I may be able to check for the
placement of any wheel weight/tape, I do recall seeing at least one.
and then, if either the front pair or the back pair have *no* tapes,
they could be moved/or remain on the front.

Regardless, is it customeary to rotate the tires front to back once
after 1000 miles or so?
