assymetrical means it has to rotate one way AND it has to go on a specific side (right, Left) so unless you are runing the same size in front and back there is no way to rotate the tires.

Sorry I am still confused....
first you said
I would understand ''not to mention they are asymmetrical so you can actually rotate them
except that the Goodyears appear to be unidirectional so you can't rotate them (except front to back but our cars have offset tires so that doesn't work) Which brings me to your next post..
I believe what you are describing here is an unidirectional tire OR asymmetric AND unidirectional tire. Linky
Right?? Don't mean to make a big deal out of this. I just want the information to be correct.

you can rotate unidirectional tires, you just have to get the tire shop to take the tire off, flip it and put it on the opposite side rim, which you cant do with an asymetrical tire

Ok rears are bald time to buy the tires now. I've decided on sticking with 255/40/19 rears but for fronts what do people think 245/35/19 or 225/40/19?? I'd like to get a lil extra tire to prevent curb rash. I always thought you could run a 225 tire on a 7.5in wheel so 245 should fit easy on a 8in tire?
