BMW do not recommend rotating the tires because of the high camber setting they use.
It can cause some handling problems for a while after you swop.
I agree...I got the Haka R2's also and they certainly were great in the snow. Not sure if I will rotate them when I put them on next winter because they look like they are all wearing about the same and no outside wear on the front this time. I had my x3 aligned on all 4 wheels just after I had them put on. So there may be no reason to rotate them.
Does the high camber translate to outer edge wear on the fronts? That's what I've heard.
problems for a while after rotating? what kind of problems? and for how long? I don't seem to be having any issues so far except getting used to the new 'handling' after taking off my snow tires.
