Can the Tire Date Face Inward?
1 Answers
Typically, tires with an inside and outside orientation have the OUTSIDE mark on the same side as the production date, so the tire production date usually faces outward during installation. For symmetric tread tires, there is no inside or outside distinction, but it is best to place the side with the production date facing outward. For unidirectional tread tires, they should be installed following the direction of the arrow, which indicates the rolling direction of the wheel. Below is additional information: 1. Tires: Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, serving several key functions: supporting the entire weight of the vehicle, bearing the load of the car; transmitting traction and braking torque, ensuring adhesion between the wheel and the road; absorbing and reducing vibrations and impacts during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to vehicle components; adapting to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reducing driving noise, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel efficiency. 2. Specifications: Tire specifications are often represented by a set of numbers. The first number indicates the tire section width, and the second number indicates the rim diameter, both in inches. The letters or symbols in between have special meanings: tire structure: "R" stands for radial tires, while "D" or "-" stands for bias tires.
