    Hey!
    I have a set of 15" 195/50 Pirelli's on a 93 mk3 golf and would like to know if you can rotate these or any other alloys for that matter as you would with a normal set of rims when the thread is less worn on the rear tyres. Thanks.

    look on the side of the tyre and see if it has any arrows related to the rotation.
    If it doesn't then yes you can change them.

    Yes you can and should rotate.

    Ideally rotate them diagonally but as the previous poster has pointed out, watch out for directional tyres which will mean you can only swap front and back on the same side of the car.

    Thats grand. Yes they are directional but as you said keep keep left and right as they are .ie back left to front left etc etc. Sound, thanks for that.
