My understanding of these tyres is that once they've been mounted and driven on, they develop some sort of memory so that THAT direction becomes the direction they should always travel in. Like, don't change them from one side to the other once they've been used unless you remount them on the opposite rims so they continue to run in their original direction. (But then you hide the lettering and that's no fun!  ) Make sure you chalk mark them whenever the're off the car so they go back onto the correct side. |
FYI the lettering on both sides are painted white. The last set I bought, and nearly every one I have ever seen in this part of the country have had the same little white abbreviations and arrows shown in Chas' photo. When the dust settles on this I will bet that in fact GY
does want them mounted directionally per Silverback's diagram earlier and the distributor is responsible for shipping sets that can be mount that way and they are the ones making the notations on the tires. This would explain why these new ones I have that came directly from GY through Nick weren't marked.
