Today's radials can be run in any direction/location. The only criteria that makes a tire directional today is tread pattern.

My michelin XZA3 are directional, the XRV's on my journey were not.

Screaming to my Freightliner dealer would be a waste of breath. MH's(we) are an imposition to be barely tolerated. We get in the way of 18-wheelers. I just had my first maintenance at 5,000 miles and one year. Was $2100 including 2 new chasis batteries which were likely necessary. I got had and there's nothing I can do. I'll go to SC next time. Tidiculous and very frustrating. Takes a lot of joy out of ownership.

I see that on Michelin's website. Although, once the tire is half worn out the XZA3 is no long directional.

Do your XZA3s have a directional arrow on the sidewall??

"Directional tread design to 1/2 life - offers protection against irregular wear while allowing for tire rotation later in life."

Yes they have the arrow and "steer" next to the arrow.
