RE070 - are they directional?
Simple question; are RE070 tyres directional? (They're not even listed on the Bridgestone site so don't know where to check?)
Many thanks
Many thanks

Just obtained a set on new car and they're 'sided' rather than 'directional'. In other words, the semi-slick part of the tread goes on the outside, while the conventional pattern is on the inner part of the wheel.

Toyo Proxes TS-1's or whatever they are called are directional.
I will double check if they have arrows when I can ar$ed.

Actually I realised, the pic doesn't really answer the question - you do have to fit them the right way round (inside vs outside), but it's not clear whether or not there are dedicated left & right handed versions. Some versions of the Pirelli P-Zero certainly do come in l/h and r/h versions, but it's quite unusual.
I'll try and remember to check the car tomorrow and see.
Thanks

They are not directional as such, say like the toyo T1s which has a directional tread pattern, but they do need to be put on with the outside marking to the outside.

Not directional (have 'inside' written on the inside), but are these babies nervous or what
I'll have to scrub them in some more before I can let rip

Have just fitted a set to my wrx 03 on 7.5 rims know what you mean about nervous at low speed.They do turn in well though do you think they will settle down when worn in?
