Default We can't rotate tires...How about seats?

Was just thinking...At 17k miles, my drivers seat looks a little used compared to the passenger seat. I noticed it when I sat in the pas side to clean the windshield. It feels firmer than the drivers side. They look the same, I would assume swapping the tracks when they're out would be the only thing needed. So, we could double the life of the seats, and have a nice new firm seat again (and why not, I hear they're like $8000.00 for a new set)

You can also rotate your tires (sort of) by removing them from their rims and putting them on your opposite side after turning them around.

good luck reclining your seat if you switch them, unless you have a very small hand

The idea is to switch the seats and swap over all the components. All aspects would remain the same.

I know, I've done this already to compensate for the inner tire wear. Didn't want to start another tire rotation thread.

I know bottoms can be taken out since some of the tall guys have moded the seat cushion to give them more room. I would think that you can just swap the bottoms. the seat belt guide would make swapping the reclining part more difficult.
