Technical Asymetric tyres

[Charnwood Fox]

Anyone had experience of or have views on asymetric tyres?
I'm thinking of having some fitted as my front tyres are near the limit and need changing.

Hi, I fitted a pair of asymetric tyres to the rear of my Bravo 1.9 Mjet thinking they might be a bit noisy? but they were not and are holding up very well,

I have now bought a pair of Yokohamas for the front (asymetric), I like these tyres although they are a bit soft, and dont generally last as well as some of the other well known brands, that said they are very "grippy" and give excellent road holding.

I will let you know what they are like (being fitted this Sunday)

I think tyres are a bit of a personal thing, (like a nice pair of shoes!) so what might suit me wont suit someone else!

Good luck with your choice.

Okay...forgive me for being a bit of a dullard, but how are asymetric tyres different from normal tyres??

Tyres where the tread pattern is not symetrical.

They have to be fitted on the correct side of the vehicle, having an inside tread pattern and an outside tread pattern.
