Thanks Poppa, this makes better sense to me now. Does anyone know if you can rotate these Vredesteins? My understanding is that you could rotate from back to front but not side to side. I know on Diamaris, once you run then a certain direction (like on the left or right) then they have to run on that same side. Switching them to the other sided will compromise the integrity of the tire. Since I run a staggard set up on my 4.6 I am assuming that I will not be able to rotate the Vredesteins from side to side. Anyone??

The tires are directional in that the groove that goes the whole circumference of the tire is always installed on the inner side. So, they are treated directionally for installation.
However, the tread design/pattern was designed to be effective in either direction.
So, in their own words:
"Thanks to this ingenious design, the Ultrac Sessanta is asymmetrical but its performance is not directional. This makes the tyre exceptionally quiet"
I think most people would agree that they are not really directional - since they can rotate effectively in either direction.
