Do snow tires have a front and back side?

Snow tires do have a front and back side. The side marked 'outside' is the front side, while the side marked 'inside' is the back side. Some tires do not have 'outside' or 'inside' markings, but instead have an arrow indicating the front side, and these tires should be installed with the arrow pointing in the direction of rotation. Compared to regular all-season tires, snow tires are made of relatively softer materials and have wider and deeper tread grooves, with a snowflake symbol on the sidewall. Snow tires provide better traction and anti-slip performance on snowy and icy roads, ensuring the vehicle's grip in low-temperature conditions. If you frequently drive in snowy weather, especially in regions like Northeast and Northwest China where it snows all year round, it is advisable to have a set of snow tires ready.
