Tyres - Yokohama S221 or Bridestone RE050

[TinSnips]

I get an alignment at least every 10,000. You're right about the rear toe. HUGE from factory - and on the only time I had holden do an alignment on it since. So the last 6000 of the bridgies life were with a proper alignment. The KU31s I had lasted around 22,000 (including the toe that holden 'installed' when they did the alignment. It's since been corrected again.

you dont have to rotate an assymetrical tyre on the rim to change it side to side.

I know... But that doesn't explain why rotating is easier.

I have just over 40,000K on mine with the RE050A's from new but don't expect them to pass the next inspection in June. I picked up a like new set of RE050A's for $300 each off Trademe. While reading about these tires I discovered the RE050A was standard issue on the Enzo.

These are rated 98W which is good for up to 270Km/h. Handy to have if you need to out run a Tsunami or lava flow one day.

Nope. You still have to jack up the car, take the wheels off one spot and put them on another spot. The sort of tyre doesn't change that.

yes in that way your right, but with directionals if you swap them side to side there rotating/facing the wrong way.
