Default Tire Rotation

Hello to all,

I have an 06 enthu with 18 stock wheels and tires. I had a question about rotating the tires. I checked to see if they are directional, but they are not. I was wondering if there will be a problem rotating them that yall might know of. Just want to make sure that I do the right thing so that I dont mess anything up. Sorry but I am new to sports cars. Just being cautious, thats all.

Thanks in advance

Staggered Tires = You can't rotate them.

Not staggered from the factory??

Then you can remove the front pins with a 10MM wrench rotate from to front to back on the same sides. Are you sure they are not directional, because the front & rear tire sixes are usually different. They are not designed to be rotated.

The stock tires ARE directional. They are also different sizes, so you CANNOT rotate them.

The RE050A's are not directional tires, but I don't believe they were available stock on the 06. Thus with these tires you could theoretically "rotate" the tires from side to side without unmounting them, although I don't know how much benefit this would be.

The only available "rotation" for your stockers would be to remove them from the rims and switch sides, if I remember they were initailly doing this for the tire feathering on the 03's.
