Default Question about directional tires!!

I needed to put my stock wheels back on last night because I had a blow out and I noticed that the guy I bought my car off of had installed the same directional tire on the two rear tires...

now is it ok to drive with this or should I go and buy the same tire in opposite direction

The tires are bran new Pirelli PZero Nero

P.S. I will be driving on these til next year

also - can I just flip one of the tires inside out and put it back on?

THANK YOU!

Yes. I had my front tires swapped today. Passenger tire to drivers side. Drivers tire to passenger side.

Default Directional tires

can be rotated just like any other tire. Even if you have the arrows going in the wrong direction you won't have a problem. Where the directional part kicks in is when your driving in rain or wet pavement then you need the arrows pointing in the right direction.

The P Zero Nero (ne' ro - Italian for black) M+S Ultra High Performance All-Season tire was designed specifically for the North American market to provide cars with a sporty disposition, year-round traction and handling. The P Zero Nero M+S is Pirelli's choice for drivers who want to drive their car through America's various weather conditions, including occasional light snow.

On the outside, the P Zero Nero M+S radial's silica-enhanced tread compound is blended to provide adhesive characteristics during high temperatures in the dry and low temperatures in the wet or snow. This compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design that features stable outside shoulder blocks combined with notched, continuous center ribs that increase footprint rigidity to enhance grip during acceleration and braking. Shoulder grooves and circumferential channels allow water to flow through the tread design to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. On the inside, the P Zero Nero M+S features twin steel belts to provide strength and durability on top of a polyester cord body.
