Yokohama Parada Spec 2

Hello all
I just bought these and had them placed on my car about a week ago. Yesterday i was sitting behind my car and i noticed the right and left wheel wasn't symentrical. For example, the think line that is on the tire is towards the outside the car on both sides but the tread on the left tires faces the opposite direction as the tires on the right side. I hope someone understands, if not back to where i bought them.
Thanks for all your help[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I used to have them and it's normal. If you look on the sidewall of the tires they should all say "Mount this side out" or "outside". The reason they look like that is they are an asymmetrical tire.

Yeah, Shlomo, go outside and check out the sidewalls...somewhere on there Yokohama has written "this side facing out" so if you see that, you are OK.

That would make the long line and "dots" face the outside on both sides of the car, so I think Shlomo is okay. Let us know [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

djmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nicedjmota is just really nice
as long as that thick line in the tread is facing outwards on all 4 You are fine.
I just recently got a set and wondered the same thing for a few minutes.

i just went and checked the tires. All 4 tires said this side outwards, so i guess i'm cool. They just look kind of weird though. Guess they are just supposed to be that way. Well thanks for everyones help.

they are asymmetric tyres

just make sure when you rotate them you dont actually rotate them just switch front with rear

Doesn't matter, they are asymmetrical, not directional.
