What is the correct installation direction for snow tires?

[ONolan]

Generally, snow tires have a specific front and back side for installation, as many snow tires feature asymmetric tread patterns. You can check the markings, such as the side labeled "OUTSIDE" which should face outward, while the side labeled "INSIDE" should face inward. Here are some precautions to note when changing snow tires: 1. Replace all four snow tires at once, not just two: The stability of the car relies on the support of all four tires. Using only two snow tires can easily cause the car to veer off course. 2. Don't wait until it snows to change to snow tires; prepare in advance: When it snows, there will be a surge in demand for tire changes, leading to price increases and long waiting times. 3. Don't mistakenly believe that snow tires consume more fuel or are noisier: Tests have shown that the fuel consumption of snow tires is not significantly different from regular tires, and the noise level is not noticeably higher. 4. Don't assume that good driving skills eliminate the need for snow tires: When skidding occurs, the car won't respond to steering wheel commands.
