I talked with some racing people, they change the direction with the training tires they told me, since they are turning more to one direction on a specific circuit, but that was slicks tires don`t know if there are differences...

Does the tire have rotation arrows and if so which direction do they point for the front? My point is that it's best to trust the manufacturer. Sometimes the angle of the tread pattern can fool you regarding what's best.

I don`t know, but that is a good question. Follow the manufacturers indication is properly a success factor

Look for an arrow that shows the tire rotation. Different makers use different arrows, but you should be able to find them. Here are a couple examples of what to look for. Ed
