Ok, just had a quick check.

The RE050A only has 'outside' written on the tyre wall.
If you look at the tread direction/pattern though you'll notice that if they are put on the wrong side ie swapped around then that would reverse the pattern.

To put it simply, the tyre 'v' pattern would be pointing up instead of pointing down towards the road surface.

Where's Nick Graves when you need him ? He'd be able to sort this one out.

 

OK gotcha, so if they are asymetric and directional, they are left/right specific. Well I never

 

Thanks guys - good to have feed back from others in the know. G

 

AE - told you

 

Try to ensure that your front and rear tyres are rotating at the same speed as often as possible.

OP doesn't say if it's 6000 rotational miles or 6000 consecutive miles travelled.

 

I've had my RE050's on the rear of my car for 4K miles now and there's still LOADS of tread left on them. The car is near enough a daily drive, but get's vtec'd at least twice each drive home (it's a great way to relieve work stress!).

It's a bit weird that the left goes before the right... surely it should be right goes before left, as we go round roundabouts to the right?? (I could be completely wrong, and i'm sure someone'll correct me soon enough!)

 

RE050A's ARE NOT directional - they're only asymmetric, which means they must be mounted on the wheel with the 'outside' face on the outside of the wheel.

After that, you can fit them to either side of the car...and unlike directionals you don't need to remove them from the wheel if you want to put them on the other side of the car.

 

The weight shifts to the left when turning right.
