Do these tyres look right

Someone mentioned to me on the legacy forum that my tyres look like they are not on in the right direction on the alloys.

As in the arrows in the pattern are pointing down on one side and up on the other? they look grand to me :dontknow:
 
Something not right there Dan.... they're directional so they should have an arrow indicating the rotational direction on them on the side wall somewhere!
 
Hey Dan,
Yup, They are on perfect!
I have just gotten a set of Vredstein sessantas and was wondering the same thing!
I searched the forums and found a few replies from Vredstein themselves on scoobynet!
You will also notice that "inside" is written on one side of the tyres so ya cant go wrong! :)
There seems to be a lot of discussion about this thread type but ask anyone who has them on - simply an awesome tyre in wet and dry!
I cant fault them anyway! :thumbsup:

To me just looks not quite right, but follow the directional arrows and it'l be sound

Yep as far as i know they all are rotating the direction shown by the arrow and has outside marked on them, ill confirm this when i get the car back
 
For me the right side doesn't look right by looking on the tyre pattern. :ponder2:
 
Tyres look fine to me. Looking at the tread pattern the water will be ejected away from the car rather than underneath it.
 
asymmetrical tread can't be "directional" unless you have L and R side specific tyres...these are asymmetrical and omni-directional and as long inside label is on the inside of the wheel everything is spot on (which is the case here)...
 
these have an inside and outside on the tyres not directional so make sure the outside is facin ya and not the other way round
 
They are all either on right or wrong cause the Track that runs the Circumfrance of tyre is on the inside of all of them, so all are fitted the same way.
Left and right tyres will leave opposite foot prints which im not sure is a good set up for 4wd car. Im sure im wrong and Vredstein are correct but that thread pattern would not be my choice on any car and especially on a 4wd car.
 
It looks to me like you've got 4 left hand side tyres?

On a 4wd I'd always have tyres with threads that sit like one of the following pics below under the car.
