Do Wheels Have a Front and Back Side?

[VonPenelope]

Wheels do have a front and back side. The sidewall of the tire is marked with 'outside' and 'inside' indicators to denote the correct orientation. The side marked 'outside' should face outward, while the side marked 'inside' should face inward. The functions of tires include: 1. Transmitting driving force, braking force, and steering force to enable vehicle operation; 2. Supporting the vehicle's load; 3. Reducing and absorbing vibrations and impacts during driving to prevent damage to vehicle components from severe shocks. Methods for maintaining car tires include: 1. Regularly checking tire pressure; 2. Removing debris from tire treads; 3. Inspecting tire wear and replacing them promptly based on wear conditions; 4. Performing tire rotation, which ensures even force distribution across all four tires to avoid excessive wear.
