Directionality - Subaru Outback

xcgates · 03-20-2009, 12:27 AM

I am on the warpath for new summer rubber, having just taken off my winter rubber, and realizing just how little tread is left.

I am a wee bit confused by tirerack and whether or not it tells you if a tire is directional. I know I could just look at most pictures and be right, I just would prefer something a bit more concrete.

I am looking (at the moment) General Grabber AT 2, and having a 5 tire rotation pattern. Thats the part that requires non-directional tires. They are a bit more all-terrain than I need, but I didn't buy a sports car, did I?

I was hoping to track it at some point, but I don't think I'll ever spend the money to solidify the car to track standards, thus no need for high-speed driving.

So are you asking if the Grabber is directional? In case you are, I can assure you that it is not directional, so no worries.

Yeah, thats part of it, I was also wondering if I'm missing where on Tirerack.com it says if a tire is directional.
