Also, sorry for hijacking the thread but does directional tread wear out faster that non-directional tires? or is it the same with good mantainence?
It depends on the compounds used in making the tires. You do need to rotate them and you should change them side to side, but this requires taking them off the rims and remounting and balancing them. Good idea after two seasons, or about half their treadlife.
