Unfortunately the new [Michelin xgt replacement] tire is directional so be prepared to demount and flip on wheel at intervals to compensate [somewhat] for feathering/camber issues all directionals have. No side to side rotation without the demount proceedure.

Frankly, I beleive one who really wants to extract the maximum wear has to do this anyway, regardless of tire tread design.

Here's the tire thread, too. It's under Infiniti General and didn't get moved when the new Q45 forum was started.
