one direction. Unidirectional tires have arrows
on the sidewalls that show the direction of
rotation. Make sure you mount the tire so that it
rotates in the proper direction. The tire's
performance with regard to hydroplaning,
traction, noise, and wear is worse if it is not
mounted in the proper direction of rotation.
If you have to mount a tire opposite to its proper
direction of rotation, you must drive more
carefully, since the tire is no longer being used
as designed. This is particularly important on
wet roads. You must replace or remount the tire
as soon as possible in order to restore the
correct direction of rotation.
