Shop Asymmetrical Tires
Order Asymmetrical tires by tire type, service description, brand, mileage warranty, availability, and current price.
Before choosing Asymmetrical tires, match the vehicle-required load index, speed rating, and any applicable load or designation requirements.
Before buying asymmetrical tires: tread design
Asymmetrical tires have different tread patterns on the inner and outer halves of the tread. The outer half of an asymmetrical tire uses large, stiff tread blocks for cornering grip and dry handling; the inner half uses more grooves and sipes to clear water and grip wet roads.
OUTSIDE markings to know before buying asymmetrical tires
Asymmetrical tires carry OUTSIDE and INSIDE markings on the sidewalls. An asymmetrical tire must be mounted on the wheel with the OUTSIDE marking facing out; mounted inside-out, the tire loses cornering grip and wet traction.
Rotation flexibility when choosing asymmetrical tires
Asymmetrical tires that are not also directional can be rotated front to back and crosswise, because the OUTSIDE marking stays facing out on any wheel position. Asymmetrical tires rotate as freely as symmetrical tires once mounted correctly.
Ordering asymmetrical directional tires by side
Some performance tires are both asymmetrical and directional, with separate left-side and right-side versions. Asymmetrical directional tires rotate front to back on the same side of the vehicle only, and the left and right tires are ordered separately.
Choosing asymmetrical tires for cars with negative camber
Asymmetrical tires are the usual choice for performance cars set up with negative camber, which tilts the top of the tire inward and loads the inner shoulder. Buyers replacing asymmetrical tires that wore out early on the inner shoulder have the alignment checked against the automaker's specification when the new set is mounted.
Vehicles that buy asymmetrical tires
Asymmetrical tires are standard on most high performance and ultra high performance tires, and on many grand touring and SUV tires. Asymmetrical tires suit drivers who want sharp cornering on dry roads and steady grip in rain from one tire.
Choosing asymmetrical vs. symmetrical vs. directional tires
- Asymmetrical tires split the tread into dry-grip and wet-grip zones and mount OUTSIDE out.
- Symmetrical tires have identical tread halves and rotate in any pattern.
- Directional tires roll one way only and rotate front to back on the same side.
Order a set of four asymmetrical tires in your vehicle's size for balanced grip front and rear.
