Sti BBS wheels / RE070 tires directional?

RuWRXcrazy2 · 07-25-2005, 07:35 PM

Hey all!

I just got a great deal on a of used set of Sti BBS GOLD wheels with the Potenza RE070 tires and was told by the seller that they are directional and you dont have to rotate them...? However, I didn't think they are, since there are no big arrows on the tires and they all would be the same when rotated, etc....etc...

Am I correct all you Sti guys out there? Or a NOOB? lol

Otherwise, I LOVE um, finally can feel the road like I own it! Plus the added BLING factor!!! AWESOME!

Thanx for the help!

Ben

WAGONS HO!!

The RE070s are asymmetrical but not directional.

Best to rotate them front to rear on occasion. Cross rotation shouldn't be necessary but isn't likely to cause harm.

Kewl thanx alot! I mocked them up before install and saw that they would all be spinning the same way, whichever way they were installed.
