does this look RIGHT to you?? TIRE question - help
so i buy rims with the TPMS and tires already on.... and pop off my stock wheels and was just about ready to pop these on when i look at the tires
why is the tread going in opposing directions on opposing wheels? did the person that sold these to me buy the wrong tires? or am i going crazy? can anyone please give their opinion on this?? the two left tires have the designs in the tires reaching backwards and the two right tires have the designs reaching forwards shouldnt they ALL be going the same way??

Yep, that's correct. They're asymmetrical, but not directional. Looks a bit weird, but all reviews I've found seem very positive. Getting mine mounted this weekend.

Agreed. There are some odd looking asymmetric treads out there that often look like they're going 'backwards' but that is the way they were designed to be run.
