My local Discount Tire had a rookie salesman that tried to sell me on the idea of rotating my tires. He finally gave up after the discussion got on the topic of having to remount each tire to maintain the proper tread rotation.

Asymmetrical, huh? That would explain the horrible thumping noise!

Hopefully no one will ever tell you to check your spare tire too! Don't have one of those either...

Not directional, but they do have an outside and inside.

And why can't you rotate them? I had different size tires front and rear on my bimmer. I took it to the tire dealer and they rotated them for me.

Old ones on car rotated to recycle bin and new tires rotated to car. Improved performance was amazing.
