I took my Camaro to get an oil change and tire rotation at the dealership. I'm just past the 10,000 mile mark. The guy at the dealer told me they dont rotate the tires for camaro's. Is this true?

If your car has the 20" wheels, that is true. They can't do a true tire rotation because of the size differences between the front set vs the rear set.

My supervisor bought a 2012 2LS and was driving 500 miles a week and rotated his tires regularly. When he lost that car in Hurricane Issac he replaced it with a 2LT...and was really aggravated when I told him he now has tires that cost more, don't last as long, and can't be rotated like normal.

If you have a car like mine however with the 18s, those can be rotated like normal.

Mines a 2LS with 18's all around...Just got an oil change and tire rotation at 5000 miles...RS tires are staggered...Looks like you have a 2LT so i dont think you can rotate yours...

I have the RS package and the tires are the 20" ones. The tires can be rotated but only from side to side. It is true they cannot be completely rotated.

That dealer may want to check the owner's manual. If you have the 20s, they are rotated side to side every 7500 miles.

Awesome! Thanks, everyone! I'll rotate them side to side then!
