Default Tire rotation direction

My factory wheels and tires were replaced with aftermarket, with intent to sell. They never sold.

I’d like to put them back on the car. At the moment they’re in storage. I don’t recall the P Zero’s being directional. I didn’t mark the wheels as left or right.

Does it matter that each wheel goes back on the car with the same direction as they were installed. 7000 miles on these wheels.

Pzeros have an inside and outside, but are not directional.
Just mount them up. Doesnt matter if you switch sides.

Nice to know.

Since they are not directional, is it worth rotating them side to side each x number of miles?

Tire manufacturers still recommend tire rotation, even if it is just side to side.
Not as much benefit as front to back rotation ( which we cant do due to the staggered tires sizes on porsches.

Don't worry with 7K on the tires you will know if you got them on the wrong side.

Tire noise should give you a hint.
