Wassup everyone,

I have a question concerning tire placement on the car. First off, I have 3 sets of tires, first is a set of 17inch rims for summer and factory rims with all season tires wrap around them and lastly I have a set of steelies for winter. My question is, Can I install any sets into my car without worrying about which one should go where like maybe a marking in the inner wheel well that shows RR(right rear) FR(front right) etc... if there was no order at all and I can install them without worrying about where they should be on the car then great! If so can anyone tell me where I can find or how I would know which one goes where?. Any advice or tips would greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

well if its your integra, i'm assuming for your 17s, u have directional tires, so make sure you keep them going the right way, but front and back is interchangable if there the same size.

As for your winters, same situation, could be directional, just stick the tires with most tred up front.

The tires have a marking on the sides for which way they should spin when rolling.

Also useful...

Mark them when you take them off each time so you know where they were last.

I wanted to install the rims with the most thread up in front and the lesser thread on the back(were talking about the 17inch rims) what are directional tires and interchangable means i could place them anywhere on the car right?

Well there interchangeable per side..

Passenger side strickly passenger side

Driver side, sticks to driver side.

i'd put winters on soon if i were you before the summers...

oh yes, one more question, since I just checked if my tires direction are correct, if they are is that ok or I have to put them in a certain place like front or back?

with an integra, it shoulnt matter. they should both be the same size, just have more tred up front :thumbsup:
