Bought from mytyres £459 full fitted

Like the idea of not having to deal with delivery myself and one company being responsible for supply and fitting (I know it is sub contracted out by mytres but I pay them)

.......result & the best part of a hundred quid in you'r pocket.  :smiley: :wink:

Now fitted  - Drive great, much quiter and less wheel spin

The tyres are asymmetrical, it therfore appears to be important to have the same outside edge for all the tyres.

However the tyres also appear to be directional (tread in an arrow pattern)– as they are all identical (not marked left or right side) and need to have the same outside edge showing, this means the direction of the tread is different from one side of the car to the other ???

Is this correct??   :undecided:

I think I know what you mean. I saw a picture of them fitted to a car from the rear and it just looked wrong.

I know they are supposed to be a very good tyre, but this was enough to put me off and go for the GY Assyms (which were cheaper for me as well).

Maybe a bit sad, but the looks were an issue.

Just finished reading a very longggg thread on tyresmoke about them and the official line is they are not directional and therefore yes each side appears to be fitted differently.

Still a great tyre even if they look incorrectly fitted

yes, mine look different as well, but that is how they are supposed to fitted so i'm told.
they are a good tyre and much much better all round to the dunlop sportmax that came with it.
