My Nitto INVO Review
#16
I was very happy to see these are an asymmetrical tire so even with my staggered setup I can rotate from side to side. This is a big plus on my car as like many other G’s I have seen on here the wear patterns are not quite the same from side to side.
how can you rotate it from side to side if they are asymmetrical?
are the both sidewall exactly the same?

Just got mine in. 245/35/20 f and 285/30/20 r. I just got some hyerblack 20' R1-Drift's http://www.r1wheels.com/wheels/drift...drift_gm_1.jpg that I am putting them on. Now all I need is to get some tire pressor sensors so I don't have to unmount my winter tires from the stock rims. Before I was running Toyo Proxes 4 225/35/20 f and 245/35/20 r on my 20' Konigs Unknowns. http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/i...873e6700f3.jpg. I had to replace the toyos every year, we'll see how long these Nittos will last.

They are non-directional and asymmetrical so they can be rotated side to side. Each tire has an "inside" and "outside". The tread could still be symmetrical and non-directional and you could swap as well.

So no matter how you rotate the tire the inside is still be the inside.
So there is no help for the camber with these tires just like with any other asymmetrical tire.

That is true, my old toyos always wore out from the inside. To see the wear I would have to cut my steering wheel all the way left or right to see the inside of the tire. The outside always still looked good, so I can see why being able to rotate left and right wouldn't be much help.

Yes, you are correct. This just helps to offset the wear issues that come from being on different sides of the car. I don't have the crazy negative camber that many on here have because I need all the traction I can get (I'm between 0.6 and 1 degree in the rear and ~2.5 in the front). I don't ever swap my rears from side to side because they wear out too fast from trying to keep straight line traction. Most of the time I through 3 sets of rears in the same time I go through one set of fronts.

So I had my first 1000 miles on my tires and so far so good, much more quiet and smoother ride compaired to my old toyos. They feel lot more sticky as well, I also find it harder to do burnouts in the parking garages now, but that may be because I went from a 245 in the rear to a 285, IDK. The only problem I am having is with my TPS.
