Most of my driving is all interstate and I've gotten 30,000 miles out of the stock tires so far. Typically I just need them for Rain and dry traction. Sucks that it doesn't! During winter when everybody is having snowstorms, I tell everybody down here we are in a snow drought down here just for kicks! Yeah I wish it dropped below freezing and snowed down here in South Florida. so it just keeps on getting worse and worse, until the treads resemble a circular saw blade, and make the car sound like it is driving over cobblestone all the time. Only since they are directional, you cannot cross rotate them like normal, to equalize the cup patterns. The tire tread blocks start to cup to one direction, as in my photo above. And no, tire cupping isn't necessarily caused by bad alignment or bad shocks. But a Jetta or Golf or Passat? Nope, bad choice. They may be fine with a super low treadlife number on some high performance car that will smoke through the tires in 15k miles anyways, like an SC430 or Corvette or M3. There is a reason why none of these cars leave the factory with directional tires. So tire rotations, including cross rotations, are necessary to keep the tires true and round.
