On a rear wheel drive car, the DOT code is on the left side of both front wheels and the DOT code is on the right side of both rear wheels.

That is a very good price, I am paying $160 for just the tire.

Todd,

 

Supposedly the issue with the RRs splitting was resolved, so in theory you might not need to flop them.  You could always be a guinni pig for us.  Just keep an eye on them, or bit the bullet and get them flopped.

 

If you had bought them from AIM they would have been correct the first time out...or they would fix it for free and make it right...just saying...

So call Ron at Aim tire, he'll set you straight.

 

I know you used to do the hockie pockie, Left front in, rt front out, but I read that's issues gone. Of course I can't find where I read that.

But...

 

I ran them at TH this weekend, had one cycle, set them as marked, Prac Qual 2 25min races.

Changed fronts to backs for Sunday and repeated., they look fine.

209's over the top.

207's bypass.

 

Oh, FYI, Charlies got some with a few cycles, he wants to get rid of, well you know.

J~

No issue with having them changed,, and my guy is saying that's the way Toyo is telling them to mount them.. 

I can see how it makes a difference as long as they are rotated FR-> RL and FL->RR   

 

Yes Johnny I thought I read that as well..
