Those pressures recommended by tyre manufactures are generally just a 'ball park' figure for lazy tyre fitters, or tyre fitters who don't have access to the handbook or whatever.

Would the Goodyear asymetric tyres be better than the directional ones, more specifically the GSD3's?Am i correct in thinking directional and asymetric are suited to different cars?
