So, some dick slashed my tires on the passenger side when I was at my friend's apartment complex. I know who the guy is and we have always left it at not liking eachother. I think he chose the passenger side because the car blocked the view from the camera. So, anyways my Miata is my daily driver and I needed to get it back on the road ASAP. Forgetting I have directional tires, I replace all the passenger side tires with asymetrical tires. So right now I have directional tires on my driver side and asymetrical on my passenger side. Everything seemed to drive and handle okay BUT I noticed in the rain as I was making a left turn and it slightly fish tailed to the right but nothing too bad at all. I was just wondering what would be the best way of rotating these tires to proper areas. Should I put the directional tires in the back and the asymmetrical up front? or vice versa?

Just get two more tires that match the passenger side tires.

bump for an answer, just bc im curious now as well. my guess is directional tires on the front

Get the rear left directional tire put the other way round on the rim and put on front right. Put the asymmetrical from right front on rear left. As long as you've only put a couple of miles on them rather than a thousand, it should work perfectly fine.

Put the two new tires on the back, that will keep your differential from working unnecessarily hard.
