traction after tire rotation Had a set of BFG G-force Sport installed 2 years ago, and despite a small drift to the left I had (which an alignment corrected), they've been really good. Awesome dry traction (would not break loose easily), handling seemed more predictable (vs the Eagle GSC's), etc.
5000 miles later I decide to rotate them. Traction does not seem to be as good as I remember on this car, seemed to break loose even though I was not really trying (might be contributed by cooler roads due to a cold morning, but the high temps went up to 60-65).
Anyone else experience less traction after rotating the tires? Do the rears (which used to be fronts) just need a chance to get used to being in the rear and the traction will improve?

i've driven cars after i do rotates that seem to do the same thing you describe i'm shure its just old rubber on the fronts from not being the drive tire once you get a few miles on them they should break down and grip better. or you could just to one quick burnee and see what happens
