Hi Guys

I am currently running a T63 front and Mitas E07 rear. The front is showing uneven wear (The one side of the knobbly is more worn than the other side). Now I assume this is from hard bereaking on tar. Recently did my licence so had to practice a lot of emergency stops ;D. I read here on the forum that there is a couple of guys that rotate the front tyre to even out the wear again. 

Went to a tyre shop yesterday to quickly get it done and the guy there showed me a rotation arrow on the tyre and said it is not a good idea to rotate it. What will happen if I rotate it? Will I have less grip? Or are there T63's out there where the direction does not matter?

Thanks  :thumleft:
