Tire direction of rotation
Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the
sidewall.
The arrow shows the tire's direction of rotation.
The tire should maintain the same direc-
•
tion of rotation throughout its service life.
Tires should only be moved between the
•
front and back, never from right to left or
vice versa.
Incorrectly mounted tires impair the vehi-
•
cle's braking properties and ability to force
aside rain, snow and slush.
The tires with the most tread should
•
always be mounted on the rear wheels to
help reduce the risk of skidding.
NOTE
Use tires of the same type, dimensions and
make (manufacturer) on each axle.
