I recently had Pirelli P Zeros put on my car...I noticed today that on the left side tires the treads face one direction and on the right side the treads face the other way? Arent all four supposed to face the same way? Did they put the tires on wrong?

 

on the sidewall of the tires, there should be an arrow showing the rotation of the tires

that is IF the tires are directional

hope that helps :smile:

 

no arrow I checked.

 

Check with the manufacture.

 

The PZeros come in two styles


The treads on the bottom pic are the directional ones, if they don't have an arrow, it may be another type of marker pointing

 

>>Did they put the tires on wrong?

Yes.

 

ok Ill get it fixed on tuesday

 

The P zero line isn Aysemetrical. It has an inside and an outside.
Once these tires are correwctly mounted on the wheel, they can be rotated to ANY postion on the vehcle. I belive we got you Nero's

This tire pictured below

is the Direzionale - this is not for Mini's

Its a system developed by Pirelli, for Porche. Its for enhansed wet traction, and less aggressive driving habits on mid-rear engine rear drive. Some Ferraris use it also. Known as the Pirelli "System"
