    I was wondering if anyone could help me answer something... How come I keep seeing trucks with K02 and wildpeaks have the driver said going one way the the passenger side the tread is going the other way?

    I can post pictures ... but I have to find them and show you what I mean. Are tire shops just not paying attention when they put them on or theres a reason for this?

    Ok found this guy for example.. (sorry for using your pick whomever)

    But look at his driver side wheel see how the tread pattern is going that way? Then the driver side if you look close its going the other way... I've seen this on lots of trucks.... sorry if i have no clue what I'm talking about, but it bothers me lol.... K02s do the same thing...

    Oh...you’re looking at the sidewall and not the actual tread. Tire shops typically will mount full DOT out on a non directional black wall only tire.
