Default Re: Less expensive tire alternative?

Rotating the tires on these cars is quite a task (besides simply swapping side to side). If you have directional tires, can't do it without incurring quite the expense. If you have OEM rims, can't do it as traditionally indicated because 19's cannot be on the front (even if non-directional tires). I wonder if getting a spare set of 18's, and placing non-directional tires, would be the easiest and least expensive economical solution? Would this cause a problem with the computers/suspension? I guess the odom and speedo would be off since the rears are 18's? Now with that a given, what would be the result if a pair of 19's were installed on the front with non-directional tires? May be a winner with the odom and speedo but what about the other aspects of the computers? Would the OEM bolts work with OEM 19 rims on the front? Comments???
