Wildpeak sidewall/shoulders different on left and right side?

    I got some Wildpeaks the other day, and they've been great so far.

    But I'm trying to figure something out here, and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer. I've noticed that the sidewall/shoulders are going in different directions on the left side of the truck, compared to the right. What's the reasoning for this? Or are my tires mounted incorrectly? Is this possibly a reason people have balancing issues?

    They are not “directional tires” meaning they get mounted on a specific side of the vehicle. I have wildpeaks with raised black wall out and the longer part of the side wall lug is towards the front on the drivers side and towards the rear on the passenger side. There is no left and right
    and it would not effect balance. It is what it is basically.

    That's exactly how mine is, thanks for taking the time to check.

    I find it to be a weird design though, you'd think everything would be going the same direction. Even where the tread starts at the top of the wall is different depending on which direction they're mounted.

    Checked mine at lunch. Same here. And I’ve never noticed until I saw this post.
