Stock runflats Bridgestone RE050 directional?

KT9 · 05-01-2007, 11:03 PM

I just swapped out my winter rim/tires and put back the stock runflats Bridgestone RE050 set. I can't find any directional arrows on the sidewalls. Does anyone know if these tires are directional or not?

i think its inside and outside. I never checked my tires though. Take a look around the sidewall.

Correct, these are asymmetric but not directional.

Thanks Gary.

I also noticed that the thread pattern is asymetrical so I matched the front tire thread pattern with the rear tire thread pattern on each side. I have the staggered setup so it made it easier.
