This is unbelievable. Go out and LOOK at your Pilot's, you will see clearly molded into the sidewall it says "OUTSIDE" on the outer sidewall. If you rotate the tires to the other side, "OUTSIDE" will still be on the outside. And look at the pic's just above, from the tread pattern they are obviously the exact same tire (i.e. not a left and a right). True unidirectional tires would say left & right or passenger & driver, not "OUTSIDE".

Call Tire Rack or go to their web site. Look up the tire, try to order just one. See if you are asked "left" or "right". You won't, cuz it doesn't matter.

And I'll say it again, the manual clearly depicts side to side rotation. Pg 148 states "Rotate your tires at intervals shown on the maintenance schedules." and has the mentioned diagram.
