Are Michelin's Pilot Super Sport directional??
I can get 4x with 4-5mm thread so I can check the wear in the inside before splashing money on new set for around £235, but it's not listed which readings are for left and which for right tyre. Check the links below. Give me a minute and I will explain what I'm thinking about. 1st pair: Tyre 1 is between 4.8 to 4.2mm Tyre 2 is between 5.0 to 5.2mm 2nd pair: Tyre 1 is between 4.7mm to 5.5mm Tyre 2 is between 4mm to 4.6mm >>>>> So, as my rears wearing very slowly and evenly, idea is to put: Tyre 1 is between 4.8 to 4.2mm (1st pair) and Tyre 2 is between 4mm to 4.6mm (2nd pair) on the REAR And: Tyre 2 is between 5.0 to 5.2mm (1st pair) and Tyre 1 is between 4.7mm to 5.5mm (2nd pair) on the FRONT Would I be able to do it?? Sorry, it's possibly a silly question, but sometimes simple things can confuse me ![]() Cheers 1st pair http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-275-35-...item2c89609fe6 2nd pair http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x275-35-2...item2c88ce587b

I don't think I've explained this properly.
As you can see from the pictures, they are in pairs, lets say front and rear axle. What if the ones close to 4mm are the left ones on both pictures and I need all 4mm to be on one axle??? If they are directional, then it means I won't be able to do it, yeah ???

Ok, asymmetric and non directional as long the outside is on the outside they can be swapped front back left right

Yep, non-directional, but do have an inside and outside edge, so can go in any position. I really rate mine, but have nothing to compare with as they're the only boots I've had on the 8.

I got P zero's on mine M-A8, reason being they had the best wet weather stoppage distances and as im Scottish we know a lot about rain and wet roads

I can't seem to get any of my tyres to wear at all - it's either my driving, my low mileage, or the number of sets of tyres I have. I like both the Michelin PS3s and the Dunlop Sport Maxxs I have though, and the winter Alpin PA 4's are also very good.
