Default Tire Question

Does anyone know if it is a good idea to rotate your tires side to side? I know you can not go front to back, but I was wondering if I could go side to side, or if I should just forget about it and just ride till I need new tires. Thanks.

The tires are directional. No rotation.

Z06 Tires are NOT directional. You may rotate them from side to side if you wish. If they were directional, then when you went to replace, you would need to buy 4 individual tires, because there is definately a mounting out side. "SIDE FACING OUTWARDS".

If you go look at your tires now (assuming they are still the F1 Supercar tires), you can see that one side is reversed from the other since they are identical tires. The tread pattern reverses from the left to right sides. Only requirement is to keep the large tread blocks on the outboard side of the wheel, therefore the "SIDE FACING OUTWARDS" on the sidewall.

Just follow what's written on the sidewall "Side facing outwards"... (which menas rotation side-to-side is ok)
