I have a set of 712 Kumho Ectas and I noticed that on the side of the tire there's an arrow preceded by the word "Rotation" so , I was wondering if the direction of the rotation of the tire should match the direction of the arrow ? And what happens when u have to rotate the tires how do u keep the pattern unchanged if it has to be like that ?

Thanks for ur help!!!

supras are directional tires

you can't "rotate" them

only swap em front and back

unless you unmount them and then flip and remount them, then you can rotate the tires.

if you mount the tires on the car and hte tires point "backwards" that means the tires should be on the other side of the car.

That's what they do for me at Walmart, which is where I bought my tires.. they're directional, so the guy actually unmounts them and moves them to the other side.
Go to Walmart for B&R, they're pretty cheap.
