The directional rotation patern used to apply for bias supply tires.

Any and all tire manufacturers say NOT to change rotational direction with a steel belted radial. The problem with changing direction on these tires is with core shift, leading to seperation. It's not going to happen every single time a tire's rotational direction is changed, but it is fairly freaquent.

Many ppl buy and run used tires. This is the greatest hazard with used tires. Often ppl have ran them and been upset because a supposedly good tire seperated shortly after being installed. I'm not saying that all used tires are bad deals, it's just a factor. Many tire stores mark direction on used tires b4 putting them in stock to avoid this issue and complaints.

To sum up, if you're running radials, keep the tire on the same side (front to back and back to front).

LOL, betcha can't guess how I paid my way through school :)
