Directional Tread?

[rocco16]

I know the reason for directional-type tread patterns is to channel water away from the tire. Now, in the dry, does it make one whit of difference which way the tires are mounted? Common sense tells me it wouldn't, but perhaps some of the tire experts can comment. Larry code5coupe

would make 0% difference in the dry .... just like you said

If they have already been spun one way I don't think you want to put them on the other side, may end up messing shifting the steel belts ending up with other problems.

Fromt the Kumho website.

"However, while V700 tires continue to be branded with right ("R") or left ("L") side of vehicle markings and rotation arrows which originated with Kuhmo's desire to reduce stress on the tire's tread splices, Kuhmo has since developed tread splices that make following the side of vehicle markings and directional arrows unnecessary. Today, there is only one part number for each size tire and experience has shown that V700 tires can be installed on either side of the car, run at any wheel position, and are not required to be run directionally."

Yes folks we can rotate our tires.
