Asymmetrical: the tread pattern changes across the face of the tyre. These designs normally incorporates larger tread blocks on the outer portion for increased stability during cornering. The smaller inner blocks and greater use of grooves help to disperse water and heat. Asymmetrical tyres tend to also be unidirectional tyres.
Unidirectional: designed to rotate in only one direction, these tyres enhance straight-line acceleration by reducing rolling resistance. They also provide shorter stopping distance. Unidirectional tyres must be dedicated to a specific side of the vehicle, so the information on the sidewall will always include a rotational direction arrow. Make sure the tyres rotate in this direction or you'll get into all sorts of trouble. <!-- / message -->

thank for clearing it up BINAR,
i just went back to the 19s for the summer from the 18s. When they were taking off the wheels before winter they forgot to markt them. I had no problem figuring out left and right rear b/c i had a curb rash on one of them, but I was a little confused about the fronts. The guy who put them on said it did not matter, but as i started driving they were making a lot of noise at low speeds, so i was concerned.
I called one dealership and they didnt know, figures... and the other told me they are not directional, so to be sure I put it out to you guys...
I guess i got used to driving on Dunlops M3 all winter. they were a lot less noisy than the potenzas. I really dont know what the noise is from. I know some had problems with inner wear of tire, but mine almost dont have that problem, they are pretty even. Anyway thanks again for your help.
