06 Pilot 2-Wheel Drive.
Not sure if they're Directional Tires or not. Goodyears.
There's no arrow on them pointing in the forward direction, so I'm assuming they're not Directional.
I was thinking of just marking the exact model of them down, and calling Goodyear.
Any other suggestions to determine if they're Directional or not?
I've go 6500 miles and would like to rotate the tires soon.
Thanks. |

| The Goodyears are NON-directional. Here's the rotation pattern from the '05 manual. You may want to see what the '06 manual recommends. |

| Thanks. Is it a rotation every 7500 miles? And it seems from a lot of the posts that many people have gotten very poor wear from these tires. I thought they were 50,000 mile tires? |

| I was in the habit of rotating mine every 7500 miles, until I swapped the darn things out for Michelin Cross Terrains at 18, 000 miles. |

| Why do you think these tires have such a wear problem? I've had goodyears in the past on my other honda and a pontiac, and have gotten excellent wear (50K plus) out of them. Granted, a different model tire, but still.... |

| The rear tires on the 03 Pilot are the original Goodyear's, just passed 61,500 miles on them. I think I have rotated them three times. The fourth time they will be replaced. |

| rockman - that's great wear. how often have you rotated them? every how many miles? and i'm assuming NON-Directional? |

The Integrity tires didn't have a wear problem, they had very poor wet traction, so I got rid of them after slipping one more time on wet pavement in an area in my daily commute where you need traction to accelerate after changing lanes. The Goodyear Eagle LS tires on my xB exhibit similar poor handling characteristics. |

I rotate the tires about ever 20,000 miles, front to back on the same side (looking at the diagram directional patter) , I also have the tires rebalanced if needed. I do not cross them or anything else. I will replace the Goodyear's on the back this time, when I have the front two moved back to the rear axle. Forgot, I had it aligned once at like 30,000 miles when I had to replace two tires that my wife ruined. When she drove on a under-inflated tire, that had a nail in it creating a slow leak. |

| heard from Goodyear and they said Integrity's are NOT Directional, and thus to go with the cross pattern for rotation. |
