Pete.

And you're based in Bunbury?

Yes. good or bad thing ?

Just my two cents worth. Still running RE070's.

I know that doesn't help in most rim sizes but being Asymmetrical you have a lot more options for rotating tires to even out the wear.

All things being equal, I would take an asymmetrical tyre over a directional one any day.

only problem with assymetrical is you can't flip them on the rims. (On say a commodore with the standard irs issue where they peel the inside because of the negative camber) with a directional can flip and then swap sides. With the assyemtrical you can't, all you can do is swap it side to side.

Yea but you can swap them to any corner without having to re fit and balance.

I see what your saying but your subi shouldn't wear anything like as bad as the dodgy commy setup and if you rotate them reasonably regularly you can make them wear pretty evenly.

Can even switch them at a track day if your really hammering one side ( Barbs long track sure fits this bill )

that's a good point, i haven't raced barbs so i wouldn't have a clue on tyre wear up there. with a directional you'd only be able to go front to back, but if they are destroying 1 side of the car you'd definitely want to change to the other.

I have Yokohama S-drives on my STI. I am very happy with them... Lots of grip, when I need it.
