Stock Tires mounted? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What do your tread blocks look like on the right and left side? I had my stock tires taken off and had my RS3s mounted on the stock rims while I had my race rims machined. Today I got them back and had my stock tires remounted to the stock rims. The tires do say outside on all 4 but there is no clear arrow pointing the direction the tires are suppose to roll.

I have a feeling my passenger side is mounted incorrectly but I'm stuck at the office and cant take the wheels off till later tonight to verify them.

If all 4 say OUTSIDE on the side facing you, then they're mounted fine. The Primacy HP is an asymmetric tread, but not a directional tread. So only outside/inside matters.

Yea they all say outside for sure. It just felt like the tread blocks were pointing the wrong direction on the passenger side. I was poking my head under the car looking for directional arrows on the inside of the car. Was doing this in my work parking lot they must of thought I was going crazy.
