Do I need to do my tire rotation at dealer w dealer price or can I just go to discount tires? The shit isn't rocket science right? 2018 m2 12k miles. OEM wheels and tires, no suspension mods.

How are you planning on rotating them? Your stock tires are staggered 245 fronts and 265 rear.

You can only rotate them side-to-side if they are OEM Michelin PSS, which are asymmetrical but not directional. Front and rear are staggered so they can't be swapped that way. Personally, I would not even bother rotating them, but if you are going to pay some trained monkeys to do it, make sure you stress to them to only swap left and right on each axle.

You probably would be the only person to have done this. As stated elsewhere, you can't rotate front to back - which is the primary reason to rotate tires. rotating side to side is somewhat pointless

Yeah SA says no can't do that but did tell me my rears are 5/12 and 4/12. Not sure what to get MPSS vs MPS4S, I read MPS4S is the better option?

MPSS is a very old tread design. Get the replacement tire which is the MPS4S.

At 12,000 miles you've already rotated them over 9 million times.
