Advan A13 tire rotation question
Ill be rotating my tires shortly. Quick question...
Are the A13s directional or non-directional?
From looking at the tread, looks like its directional BUT it does not have the arrow indicating the rotation on the side of the tire.

^ I don't think so man. Compare markings and tread on the front drivers side tire versus the front passenger side tire. Imagine turning each 180 degrees and you'd have the same tread pattern. They are not directional. Unless I'm an idiot.

I found this in the Evo X Service Manual, Vol. 1, under the "General 00" section, General Maintenance Service, Page 00-79, the text is:
24. TIRES (ROTATE)
M1001008900529
Rotate tires regularly to equalize tire wear and help extend tire life. Recommended tire rotation is every 12,000 km (7,500 miles).
Timing for the rotation may vary according to vehicle condition, road surface conditions, and individual driver’s habits.
When rotating tires, check for uneven wear, damage, and wheel alignment. Abnormal wear is usually caused by incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel alignment, out-of balance wheels, or severe braking.
The first rotation is the most important, to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle.
There is an illustration there clearly showing that the tires are rotated front-to-back and back-to-front on the same side. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to copy and past the illustration.

Check your manual dude, the A13s are not directional. They are recommended to be cross rotated like in pic A. That's one of the best things about these advans as opposed to the ones on the previous evos.
