are these the directional tires that you can swap to rotate them from side to side?
im pretty sure these are the tires i almost bought before my toyos
*edit
yup these are it...these are perfect for our feathering tires....the Vredestein Sessanta are NOT directional...they are ASSYMETRICAL...so left and right tires are not needed. If you look at the tire design, even if you rotated them, they will still be traveling in a "directional" direction. These tires were designed by Vredestein and Guiargo Design. When i think back...i did a lot of research on these tires and I should have gotten them, but ran into a toyo deal i couldnt pass up. Please correct me if im wrong on these points...but I think im right.

Try Strictly Foreign and stop crying. A whole list of nationwide vendors is available from Vredestein's website. All you had to do was search.

Sounds good, wish they made a 275/40/R18
On 18x9 + 22, 18x10 + 25, would these be okay:
255/40/R18
295/35/R18
Or are those sidewalls too small? Wanted 245/275 (45/40) but don't want to stagger more than that.
Maybe I'll do 265/295.. Ugh. NA DD, so I don't need the extra traction (no Auto-X), and the extra width is just added weight and rolling resistance. But these do look to run slightly narrow. I'm excited.
