What
To Do Before You Start
It usually takes only minutes to install tires and wheels
on your vehicle; but remember, they’ll probably be on for at
least 5,000 miles and will roll over a million times before
it’s time to rotate them. To make those miles as pleasant as
possible, you need correct Wheel And Tire Package
installation.
Check Tire Positions
If you selected directional tires and/or asymmetric tires,
the first step before installing them is to match each tire
and wheel to its final position on your vehicle. To prevent
mistakes, actually set each wheel and tire around your vehicle
just as race teams do for pit stops.
1. Directional Tires Only
Refer to the "rotation arrow" branding on the
tire's sidewall. The arrow indicates the direction in which
the tire should turn.
2. Asymmetric Tires Only
All tires should show sidewall branding indicating side
facing outward.
3. Directional and Asymmetric Tires
Look for "Side Facing Outwards" branding and
"rotation arrow" to determine side of vehicle.

NOTE:
If your vehicle uses two different tire sizes, make certain to
tell your tire installer to mount the larger size on the
wheels used on the rear axle.
