Was Tire choice for teardrops Now Falken Azenis Q

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

yes, a directional tire can only be mounted according to the rotation (going
towards the front of the car) this also mean that you cannot rotate tires
left to right, onluy front to back, My KHumo's Escta's 712 are the same, I
never had a problem with directional tires myself.

=>Ken, if you are not concerned with tire wear I can personally recommend
=>the Falken Azenis in 195/60/14.  www.discounttiredirect.com has them for
=>$51/ea.  I don't know if they are still offering free shipping but when
=>I bought mine I didn't have to pay it.  That's $200 to the door for an
=>excellent set of tires.  I got about 15k miles out of these tires (hard
=>street driving, little bit of autox).
=>
=>The SP8000 is also a great tire and will last a little longer.
