Are Michelin Super Sports Directional?

Cool. So technically you can rotate them and help with even wear...

Thanks! Maybe I'll give them a call and see what they say.

Sure - side to side obviously with the size differences. From the Michelin description -
"The Pilot Super Sport features an asymmetric design..."

Michelin PS2's and tire rotation

Reviving an old thread and wanted to confirm whether the PS2 tires can be rotated side by side to help with even tire wear - what are most of you doing on your cars regarding tire roation and other thoughts?

I thought rotating tires was more beneficial when swapping front and rear locations to mix up steering vs drive wheels.
Shouldn't the sides wear the same barring excessive turns in only one direction?

I assume when I change the tires to michelin super sports, they can't be rotated side to side too then

I thought we answered this a year ago - PS2's are not directional, they are asymmetric so they can be switched side to side. Asymmetric tires say "this side out" or "outside" on the sidewall while directional have an arrow showing direction the tire rotates.

Yes you did above in post #2- many thanks jhb for clarifying this again (as my search came up with some conflicting answers and led to the confusion)..that was my understanding, that any tire with an arrow showing direction of rotation on the outside: Directional (cannot be rotated side to side) --whereas tires that just say "this side out" i.e. like on my PS2's, are asymmetrical and thus can be rotated side to side.

PS2's are not directional? A year ago I asked about the PSS tire...
