Re: Unique directional Vs. Asymmetric tread

Both are seperate technologies. Directional refers to the tread needing to face one way to work correctly, asymmetric refers to the tread being different on the left side of the tire, compared to the right. Benefits include increased cornering capabilities in certain situations. You can have neither, one, or both in a tire.

You might want to try this in the Wheel and Tire forum as this is LT1 Engine Tech... lest the Jem'Hadar come for you.

Re: Unique directional Vs. Asymmetric tread

Yes, you can only rotate your tires front to back. I perfer directional tires on a sports car. Also, you usually have alot better traction in the rain because you don't have to compromise when you design a tire with directional tread.

Re: Unique directional Vs. Asymmetric tread

This is "Wheel & Tire" stuff..... does not belong on "LT1 Engine Tech".

The new boards have been in operation long enough for everyone to figure this out. Posting on the wrong forum, and pushing correctly posted subjects off the bottom of the page is not very considerate of others.
