Does installing tires backwards have any impact?
1 Answers
The impacts of installing tires backwards are as follows: Installing tires backwards can reduce the tire's grip, create uneven resistance on both sides, decrease the vehicle's braking effectiveness, make it prone to veering off course, cause unstable steering, and hinder water drainage during rainy weather, leading to potential safety hazards. Additionally, if tires are installed backwards, the vehicle's comfort will be affected, and tire wear will accelerate, causing the tires to wear out prematurely. Extension: 1. There are many methods to identify the correct side of a car tire, and the most direct way is to observe the English markings on the tire sidewall. The sidewall marked with "INSIDE" indicates the inner side (the side facing inward), while the sidewall marked with "OUTSIDE" indicates the outer side (the side facing outward). 2. Alternatively, you can identify the correct side by checking the manufacturing date on the tire sidewall. The manufacturing date on the tire sidewall is not displayed as XX year XX month XX day, but rather as a simple 4-digit number. For example, if you see the number 3513 on the tire sidewall, it means the tire was produced in the 35th week of 2013. The side with the production date is the outer side of the tire.
