Hey fellas,
The following text came from the Tirerack web site at (Kumho Care):

However, while V700 tires continue to be branded with right ("R") or left ("L") side of vehicle markings and rotation arrows which originated with Kuhmo's desire to reduce stress on the tire's tread splices, Kuhmo has since developed tread splices that make following the side of vehicle markings and directional arrows unnecessary. Today, there is only one part number for each size tire and experience has shown that V700 tires can be installed on either side of the car, run at any wheel position, and are not required to be run directionally.


: : I was wondering if it is ok to remount khumo v700s with the inside edge on the outside after the original outside edge is somewhat worn? I'm just trying to get a couple more track (school) days out of them.

: : Thanks!

: Joel, You can switch them side to side front to rear but you can't do what you are asking to do. The tires are designed with an outside edge. Let me know if I can help. Thank you Jim ext 364
