? about dunlop runflats

The dunlop dsst tires that came on my 16" mcs are assymetrical. They are different on the outside than on the inside. But are the uni-directional. What I mean is, can I rotate the front left to the right rear, or is the tread designed to go one way only? thanks

Unless the tires have a big arrow on them with the word ROTATION inside, you can rotate them side to side. The inside tread pattern will always be on the inside. Asymmetrical doesn't necessarily mean directional.

Directional treads usually have a sort of V pattern in them to evacuate water, slush and snow and will have the ROTATION arrow on them. They can only be rotated front to back or else the V would end up the wrong way.

Thanks, that is what I thought, I just wanted a little reinforcement.
