What's the Trick Behind New Car Tires Being Mounted Inside Out?

[StAvery]

Mounting car tires inside out may lead to accelerated tire wear. Below are relevant explanations: Installation: Symmetrical tread patterns refer to designs where both sides of the tread are identical or similar, centered around the central groove. For such patterns, there isn't much difference between mounting them inside out, though generally, the side with the date code should face outward. For unidirectional tires, first consider the specific position where the tire and wheel assembly will be installed on the vehicle. Then, mount the tire onto the wheel according to the rotation arrow indicated on the tire sidewall before installing the assembly onto the vehicle. Scratches: Tread scratches require inspection of their depth. If only the surface rubber is scratched without exposing the cord layer or damaging the cord and steel layers, tire replacement isn't necessary. If the cord layer is damaged, there's a risk of bulging. Exposed steel layers, when eroded by mud and water, pose a risk of delamination. For safety reasons, it's advisable to replace the tire.
