R1HJK Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 So I’m probably going to put my summer wheels back on soon or get a mobile fitter to come round. Does it matter which side the wheels are fitted on? e.g. do the wheels that were originally fitted on the right hand side need to go back on the same side.

Probably depends whether your tyres are directional. Mine are on the 987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutley Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 If in doubt on how to tell: https://www.barum-tyres.com/car/expert-advice/safety-driving-tips/tyre-direction https://www.tirebuyer.com/education/directional-tires I always stick a post-it to each wheel when when taking it off saying which corner it was. Stop me having to think too hard we re-installing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1HJK Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Unfortunately I didn’t mark them when I put them in storage. They are standard Pirelli P Zeros which I’m pretty sure are asymmetrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artj Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 My summer wheels are 20", my winters on the car at present are 19", with the conditions of the roads, potholes etc I will probably leave them on as it looks as if any serious driving will not be allowed until much later in the year.

Guvs Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I find Tip X is brilliant for marking up on the inside of my tyres all sorts of information. Guvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 If there are no arrows on the side walls - it doesn't matter. I use track bags, although the 20' rears do not fit I am still in the habit of putting the bag with the rim. My summers are currently sat in the lounge waiting to go back on, although I think this year I will try some SIO2 coating before they are fitted.

Greenman Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 As Patt says, there will be an indication on the sidewall, usually an arrow with ‘rotation’ written by it if they are directional. If no arrow then it doesn’t matter which wheel. I don’t think Pzeros are directional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 They were washed and decontaminated in the kitchen sink too! They are there to annoy ME into getting them ready for a warm dry weekend to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always forget to take a piece of chalk with me but there's plenty on the garden around these parts. 🙂 BTW, yes, they should go back in the same places. If you don't and hear a noise like a failed wheel bearing, try swapping from side to side before fitting a new wheel bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
