Tire direction of rotation

Tires with tread designed to roll in only one
direction are marked with an arrow on the side-
wall.
The arrow shows the tire's direction of rotation.
• The tire should maintain the same direction
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 vehicle'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.
