Are my Continental DWS tires installed properly?
So I left Sears yesterday and when I got home I noticed something that kinda stood out to me but I can't find any clues to support my theory..
Right under the word "Continental" there is the word "inside", however this is obviously on the outside of the tire.. I've googled for a little while now on if these are directional or not and I can't find a straight answer... Before I go back to Sears with a "wtf" type facial expression I'd just like to know if I'm correct or not, and that these are installed backwards.. Thanks!

Well I had a blow out on the 4th of July and I only had about 1 option, which was Sears lol.. I'd normally never go there but it was the only place open.. After being told they had regular DW's in stock I had my car towed there and 2 hours later they call and say their inventory is incorrect and they actually don't have the Continentals I was told about but that they only have DWS 06's which are more expensive, then I have to argue for them to match the price of what I was quoted in the first place, only to later get home and find they were installed backwards.. Especially after I was told that it was taking so long because they have their best guy on the job and that he was just a bit slow and thorough.. I didn't realize they meant slow on a chromosomal level.. Smh.. I'm really contemplating on leaving a bad review because this is ridiculous..

yes have them flip the wheels, I would check them all to make sure they are all facing outward correctly. I believe these tires are not directional as their is no indication that they are.

If they were directional, they wouldn't have an INSIDE/OUTSIDE designation

As the others have stated, the "outside" text on the side wall should be facing out.

I'd just get a full refund and take my money elsewhere.. to wherever you normally buy your tires, assuming they're now open.
