Do Car Tire Treads Have a Right and Wrong Side?
1 Answers
Symmetrical car tires do not have a right or wrong side, while asymmetrical tread tires have inner and outer markings and do have a correct orientation. Below are the relevant details: 1. Unidirectional Tires: Mount the tire on the rim according to the rotation arrow indicated on the tire sidewall. The rotation arrow on the sidewall should align with the vehicle's forward direction. 2. Asymmetrical Tread Tires: When installing the tire on the rim, ensure the side marked with 'outside' faces outward. 3. Symmetrical Tires: If the tire has raised white lettering or a sidewall protection layer, install the side with the raised white letters or sidewall protection facing outward.
