Tires with unidirectional tread design
Tires with unidirectional tread design must be
mounted with their tread pattern pointed in the
right direction .
Using a repl acement t ire w ith a tread pattern
intend ed for use in a sp ecific direction
When using a rep lacement tire with a tread pat­
tern intended for use in a spec ific d irection ,
please note the follow ing:
- The direction of rotation is marked by an arrow
on the side of the tire .
- If the replacement tire has to be installed in
the incorrect direction, use the replacement tire only temporarily s ince the t ire w ill not be
ab le to achieve its optimum perfo rmance char­

you adjust your speed to match road cond i­
tions .
- Rep lace the flat tire w ith a new one and have it
installed on your veh icle as soon as possib le to
restore the hand ling advantages of a unidirec­
tional tire.
