Tyre Fitted Wrong Way Around

[HowardL]

I just noticed the front near sided tyre (fitted 2 yrs ago) has been put on with the direction arrow pointing the wrong way.

Should I get it fitted correctly or just leave it?

I have also noticed the tyre is worn more than the other front one

Definitely get it changed it will ruin the tyre otherwise happened to me my local tyre fitter fitted a Bridgestone 17" on my alloy

with the rotation wrong and it ruined the tyre only found out when my local Mr.T charged me for a new tyre

I would change it too. There must be a reason to give direction arrows, so yeah! get it changed!

I got the tyre change( free of charge)...the bloke managed to find out when it was fitted...nearly 3 yrs ago!!!

Did you know it is an MOT failiure if the tyre is fitted the wrong way round???

I dont know how mine got through, twice!

Don't know about cars but a motorbike with wrongly fitted tyres will fail an MOT. Well that's if the inspector checks it!

The tread pattern is designed to split the water as it comes down through it. If fitted backwards it will try keep the water towards the middle and greatly increase the risk of aquaplaning.
