Hi guys,

Wondering if you could clarify something for me. I read in my Haynes manual that these stock tires had arrows on them to signify the direction they had to face. The label on my door says it came stock with 245/50/ZR16's. My car currently has Goodyear 225/50/VR16's and the front tires are worn so I want to move them to the back and wondering if its alright. I dont know if its rim dependant at all, but the tires dont have arrows on them. Thanks guys.

If there are no arrows on the side walls, you should be able to move them anywhere, one side or the other. I'm not real hip on GTA rims, but my Formula's front and rear rims have different offsets, meaning the front rims have to stay up front and the rears out back. If you mix them up on mine, the rear rim will rub against the front tie rod end. I have the same size tires as your originals, 245-50's.
