About 3 months ago I had my tyres balancing done at the tyreshop besides NPE.Recently I done up my scretched rim and I was told that one of my front tyre has been put at the rear and vice versa.During balancing the last time I remembered the mechanic wanted to rotate my tyre and I stopped him and I thought that the end of it.Luckily I got a scretched rim otherwise I wouldnt bother to check.No wonder I found my ride like there was something not right.So you guys after take off your tyres make sure your personally inspect them after refit because if it can happen to me at a shop that is suppose to be a big tyreshop then it can happen to anybody.BTW my ride is E90.
 
mounting tires wrongly on a staggerred set of rims is a silly and unprofessional mistake.. however as owner, i would've spot it even before i left the shop.

Tyres and Rims are the right sizes except that that the 255 size is put infront instead at the rear while the smaller 225 is put at the rear.I salute you since you can spot the difference just by glancing at them without checking .Because I cant tell the difference

it's not difficult to tell ashman.. a car will look weird with wider front tyres.

Bro Ashman,

Pay more attention to your car, look at it and appreciate it.

Then you'll see the difference...:top:
