Huh? Why would the arrows point differently from one side to the other? Am I missing something? The tires should both be facing the same direction. So if he was looking at the tire the arrows on the sidewall should both be pointing toward the front of the vehicle.

thanks people... i thought that the points hit first (i said that in my 2nd post) i was just makin sure!

i was talking about the imprint of the tire on the ground was <<< while everyone else was talking about the tire tread going >>> but we were still talking about the same direction of the tires! i should been clearer in the first post

i got my lazy ass to the garage and found that not only does the tires have arrows they say "left" and "right" as well

ummm... i just bought toyo t1s... and im not sure which way to mount them... the treading kinda looks like ">>>>" so would the points face the front of the car so that when the car is traveling the base of the triangle hits the ground first... or should the point face the back of the car so the points hit the car first??

if the car is traveling to the right... would the treads looks like...
