Tyres with different tread
Tyres with different tread
Some tyres have different treads depending on the arrangement of their tread blocks:
Standard or non-directional tyres
l  The tread blocks have no particular arrangement.
Directional tyres
l  The tyre has a certain direction of rotation and must be mounted in a specific position on the rim.
l  The direction of rotation is normally indicated by the small arrow or the word „rotation“.
Asymmetrical
l  The tread blocks differ on each tyre side whereby the side has special traction conditions.
l  The outside of the tyre (normally indicated by the word „Outside“ on the side), should never be mounted on the inside of the rim.
Mix (directional + asymmetric)
l  This is a combination of both characteristics.
