Do car tire treads have a front and back side?

[TravisLee]

Car tire treads do have a front and back side. The method to determine the correct orientation of tire treads is: On the tire sidewall, there are markings indicating 'outside' and 'inside' for the front and back sides. The side marked 'outside' should face outward, while the side marked 'inside' should face inward. The functions of tires are: 1. To support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car; 2. To transmit traction and braking torque, ensuring the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface; 3. To reduce and absorb vibrations and impact forces during driving, preventing severe vibrations and premature damage to car components; 4. To adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
