Ok, I can't help you choose a make of tyre Garry, but you want a non-specific (not sure you'll get any to suit size and speed rating though) or an asymmetric design, so you can unbolt both fronts and just bolt them straight on the other side.

that's not what directional means though, and it's not what he was asking about. paradas aren't directional, once fitted they can be swapped left to right and/or front to back

of course.. sorry I'm not concentrating..

"Side Facing Out" marking as opposed to "Rotation this way".. DOH..

Cheers for all the help

Have now received my Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics and am having them fitted on saturday. Will see how their fair and report back once i have done a few miles. I really did like the Semperit tyres it currently has but thought why not give these new eagles a go that every one is raving about. Just hope they live up to the hype, lol. Dont really want to be wasting £408.00 (Camskil - 225/40R18 x 4).

Thanks for all the input again.

Regards

Garry
