Default Tire question

Greetings - Are the Michelin tires on my 2010 RX 350 AWD (18" wheels) "directional" ?

Reason I ask is the manual says to rotate front to back and back to front; I read somewhere else this is because the tires are "directional" and must stay on the same side of the vehicle.

I have never used that pattern before...and always got 55K miles on the tires of my previous AWD SUV.

Thanks

Yes, directional only. Keep them same side and front to back every 5000 miles. With proper inflation you should be fine.
