What is the installation direction of tire tread patterns?
1 Answers
1. Installation direction of asymmetric tread tires: During installation, the side with the word "outside" should be mounted facing outward. 2. Installation direction of symmetric tread tires: Symmetric tread tires have no distinction between front/rear, left/right, or inside/outside, but it's best to mount the side with the production date facing outward. 3. Locate the arrow indicator on the tire sidewall - the direction pointed by the arrow indicates the rolling direction of the tire, which can serve as a reference during installation. Consequences of incorrect installation: Front/rear reversal mainly refers to tires on rear-wheel-drive luxury vehicles. For these types of tires, the design is often based on the vehicle's front/rear ground force distribution, with the front tire width being different from the rear tire width. If installed incorrectly without distinguishing front from rear, it will affect steering and power output. If the accelerator is pressed heavily, it may cause the entire vehicle to twist, resulting in loss of control.
