Yes I've found the word "Exterior", (and some foreign words for it) on the outside of each tyre by the DOT symbol as they are fitted. But two definitely look the wrong way round to me.

I've emailed Goodyear. Still waiting for them to come back to me with an answer.

I thought the same when I had mine fitted but the Event bloke explained as above

My AS2's most definitely have an outside moulded into the tyre sidewall.

They are incidentally, my tyre of choice and are flippin' brilliant.

No, I am right, provided the "outside" markings are on the outside.
As mentioned in the video, the outside is where the wider blocks are and can be seen on the right hand side of this picture:

From a press release:

Lower noise emission levels
The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 offers a smooth and quiet ride. The tyre's optimized block design and optimized 4 Pitches Sequence with 64 blocks on the outside and 72 blocks on the inside help reduce noise output levels.

Then they're fitted correctly, explanation in my earlier post. Asymmetric tyres have to be fitted according to inside/outside, NOT according to rotating direction. If they all rotated the same direction, the Outside would be on the Inside for 2 of the tyres.

They are over-rated imo.

Just checked this. The tyres are fitted as shown so I am taking it as right as the "Exterior" markings are also on the outside tyre walls. I must admit it does look odd though. (profile left against profile right). I'm taking the car to my friend tomorrow who runs an independent MOT testing station for his views before he actually tests the car next Friday!

Let you all know what he says.

Thanks for the help everyone.

What are you using instead? Have Asymmetric 2 on my S but interested to hear your opinion. I find them excellent.
