Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both statements are correct. Directional tires do have specific markings on the sidewall indicating the correct mounting direction to ensure proper performance and safety. Tire tread patterns can indeed be symmetric, where the tread pattern is the same across the tire's face, or asymmetric, where the tread pattern changes across the tire's face to optimize performance in various conditions.
