There are more than a few people that (even against advice) run slicks the correct way for half the wear, incorrect way for 1/4 wear and back the correct way for the last 1/4. Of course these people often have their own tyre change/balance machines!!!

But that also suggests that a LOT of people run them the wrong way round!

Out of interest, why is a slick on a car directional??

ive no idea why, but as avon website says there is a different direction for front and rear wheel drive avon slicks

My tyres came from the same source as yours did and i was told it did not matter which way they are fitted?
