Tire Rotation • Some tires are directional; they are designed to turn in one direction only. They cannot be moved from one side of the vehicle to the other, otherwise they will rotate against the direction of their design. • Other tires are asymmetric; the tread differs from inside to outside. Asymmetric tires must be mounted on the rim correctly. • The majority of tires can be mounted and run in either direction. • Remember to adjust air pressure on each tire to recommended levels.
