tires with rotational direction.

[PHiuR]

is it because the treads are made one way to have better traction/?

what happens if you put it on reverse and drive it? (300-700 miles)

any other comments?


edit: will it damage the tires if driven with the arrow pointed the wrong way? because I have my two front tires installed wrong and I drove it for 300+ miles) 😱

Traction won't be as good and your wet traction could suffer tremendously.

Not to mention it will probably sound like an airplane in the cabin. I've had the dealership accidently put the front tires facing the wrong direction and the road noise over 40mph was insane.

it's all about the way it moves water out of the way in the wet.

Look at these. Imagine the water flow as they turn...

You won't damage the tires as long as it's short term and you don't drive quickly, but I would be VERY careful about where and how fast I drove. Get them fixed ASAP.
