Asymmetric tire question...
Stupid question but just ordered these Avons from Tirerack and they are asymmetric. I've always had directional tires so not sure if Tirerack sent mismatched pairs for front and rear or if this correct. I think they're correct but need expert opinions. Thanks! Rears below:

asymmetric tires have an outside wall and inside wall so its not like directional tires which look like they only go one way so you should be fine just read the sidewall it should say outside on the side of the tires which you see and inside facing the inside of the car hope this helps

i've had these on my oem's for a few months now... they are only marked with an "outside" and no markings for "rotation". no problems with the tires.
btw, they really suck.

btw not many tire selections out there anymore in 245/45/16 if going with non oem tires and they stopped selling so3's. so2's good choice for grip but not for wear. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp...=15&RunFlat=All

dayum i guess you get what you pay for. how are they in the rain?
i can't really tell you about wet performance since it really hasn't rained yet
...but i'm sure it's fun since dry performance is quite entertaining.
