I'm considering order a new F30 with a squared, instead of staggered setup mainly due to the additional cost (and noise) associated with not being able to rotate my tires.
But if rotating tires may be possible on a staggered setup, I may consider staying with this setup. I know that special tires would need to be purchased just for this reason, so does anyone know how wide-spread these types of tires are?

I have different front and rears 19" from the Factory with 403M rims. This was one of my first questions when I took delivery. I pointed out years ago when I rotated tires to opposite sides the belt always broke slightly after the shift.
I was told that was the case years ago (and given some reason why that I honestly do not remember now) but assured that the modern tires of today do not have that problem.
But again, I was assured I had ACC at the same time, which I have since figured out I really do not.
