In Reply to: Aha - they say both "MXX3" and "Pilot SX" (more) posted by ///M ike on April 09, 2001 at 16:07:27:


Given that info, I assume there IS such a thing as an MXX3 PilotSX (unless the previous owner was baking counterfeit tires in his basement). Am I correct in assuming they are NOT directional?

Thanks

Either you have the Michelin MXX3, or you have the Pilot Sports. There's no such thing as a "MXX3 Pilot Sport".

The MXX3 is not directional, the Pilot Sport is directional.

I just noticed on my 95 that
a) my tires as mounted are NOT mirror images of one another (the tread at the outside edge runs in opposite directions on one side of the car vs. the other), and
b) there are no "rotation" arrows visible.

I assumed that these tire were directional, which would mean that the tread pattern would have the same orientation on both sides of the car.

Any info is appreciated.
