Directional Tread Pattern Tires

Some vehicles may be fitted with special high-performance tires having a directional tread pattern. These tires are designed to improve traction on wet pavement. To obtain the full benefits of this design, the tires must be installed so that they rotate in the correct direction. This is indicated by arrows on the tire sidewalls.

When being installed, extra care is needed to ensure that this direction of rotation is maintained.
