Advantages / Disadvantages of Uni-directional tread patterns
In general, what do I need to consider when buying uni-directional tires?
Presently, I am running Firestone Firehawk SZ50's (unidirectional / 16") on my Camry and just love the way they handle. I had a tire guy tell me that Uni's are bad to cup as they wear. True?
I am strongly considering a set for my SC400 in 17" - Anyone have higher mile experience with this tire or with odd wear patterns in uni-directional tires in general?
Thanks guys and happy 4th!
