Before buying symmetrical tires: symmetric tread design
Symmetrical tires, also called symmetric tires, have the same tread pattern on the inner and outer halves of the tread, so a symmetrical tire performs the same whichever sidewall faces out and whichever direction the tire rolls. Symmetrical tread patterns are common on touring, highway and value-priced all-season tires.
Choosing symmetrical tires for simple rotation
Symmetrical tires suit buyers who want the simplest rotation: front to back, side to side or crosswise in an X. Unrestricted rotation lets a set of symmetrical tires wear evenly across all four wheel positions, which helps the set reach the mileage in its treadwear warranty.
Buying a symmetrical spare that fits any wheel
A full-size symmetrical spare can replace any of the four tires, because symmetrical tires mount with either sidewall facing out and carry no OUTSIDE marking or rotation arrow. Buyers who want a five-tire set with a matching spare get the most use from symmetrical tires.
Choosing symmetrical vs. asymmetrical vs. directional tires
- Symmetrical tires have identical tread halves, rotate in any pattern and give quiet, even wear.
- Asymmetrical tires have different inner and outer tread zones for cornering grip and wet traction, and mount with the OUTSIDE marking facing out.
- Directional tires have a V-shaped tread that rolls one way only, marked by an arrow, and rotate front to back on the same side of the vehicle.
Drivers and vehicles that buy symmetrical tires
Symmetrical tires suit drivers of sedans, minivans, crossovers and pickups who prioritize a quiet ride, long tread life and simple rotation over maximum cornering grip. Fleet cars and work trucks also run symmetrical tires, because any tire can move to any wheel position during service. Performance cars more often leave the factory on asymmetrical or directional tires; the tread design of the original tire is visible on its sidewall markings.
Treadwear warranties to compare when buying symmetrical tires
Symmetrical tires in touring and highway lines commonly carry treadwear warranties of 60,000 miles or more. Compare symmetrical tires by treadwear warranty and price to find the lowest cost per mile for your vehicle.
