What is the installation direction of unidirectional snow tires?
1 Answers
Unidirectional tires generally have tread patterns installed in the same direction. Snow tire installation: Snow tires have a correct side, which can be distinguished by the letters on the sidewall. The side marked OUTSIDE is the front, and INSIDE is the reverse. When installing the tire, the side marked OUTSIDE should face outward, and the side marked INSIDE should face inward. Some tires may indicate the rotation direction of the tire with an arrow on the sidewall. Snow tires: Snow tires are designed for icy and snowy weather. In appearance, unlike regular or unidirectional tires, snow tires have asymmetric directional tread patterns. Snow tires have more grooves, meaning a higher proportion of the tire surface is covered with grooves, which improves drainage. Snow tires typically have at least 1,000 fine grooves, while regular tires have about 200.
