Directional Tires Wrong Direction From Factory!

Just a heads up to check the direction on your tires if you are on factory tires (The dunlops are directional, not sure about anything else) I've had this thing for a year and just noticed today that all four of my tires are mounted for the right side of the truck! The tires on the left side are backwards and the tires on the right are going the right way.

I even recognized they were directional when I rotated them months ago so I didn't swap sides. Doh!

 

If you have the Dunlop AT20 they are not directional tires.

 

They are the Dunlop AT20s. I would be very happy to hear that they are not directional. I'll do some research. This arrow is what lead me to believe that they are.

 

That's Dunlops logo. Not a directional indicator.

 

Holy hell it is I am an idiot haha. I feel like that is a bad logo to put on a tire.

 

Thank you for the speedy help. You saved me from looking like a dumb ass at the dealer. Now I only look like one on the internet!

 

No worries. BTW, your not the first.

 

lol

 

LoL, not an idiot, but thanks for that.

 

Now if your tire had this, you would have been correct!

 

They've been using that logo only for the last century or so.

 

If that's the only mistake you have made in life, I'd say you're doing okay.

 

Don't worry, no one uses the internet anymore.

 

Your bigger mistake is keeping those tires on your truck.

 

No doubt, they do leave some to be desired. I just can't bring myself to replace tires that still have so much tread on them though.

 

They're fine for the first winter, and work great in summer - they roll smooth and get good mpgs. You'll find yourself sliding into intersections during your second winter here in Montana. I speak from experience. Also, the ABS will only make this problem worse. Pick up some cheap sock steelies on Craigslist and put on real snow tires like Toyo Wintercats.

 

Haven't seen you in the Montana thread. Where are you in Montana?

 

I didn't know there is one, I'll jump over and check it out! I live in Lolo and work in Missoula.

 

Normally only MTs are directional
