Hi all bro & sis,

I am currently using Bridgestone Potenza RE001. Today my fren was looking at my tyres and he told me that my tyres were installed wrongly. I knew that RE001 is directional tyre but since it were installed till now, i hv not even looking at the thread direction. Please advice which is the correct direction:

If I am now standing in front of my car and looking to the bonnet direction, should all my tyres be installed as shown on the above photo? The thread (sharp point) should be pointing downwards for all fours tyres, rite? Currently, the passenger side thread is pointing downward but the driver side thread is pointing upward :confused1:. They shouldnt be pointing at the opposite direction, rite?

What is the complication if the tyres direction were installed wrongly as what i hv mention? i am having quite bad fc (will never over 13). is it bcoz of this? oso will it be dangerous? so worry now  :ohmy:

Please advice. Thank you very much

Actually, the RE001 is NON-directional. It can be changed among all 4 tire locations during tire rotation..
However, it is asymetric i.e. has inside and outside. In that case, the left and right patterns should be opposite of each other. The outside wall is the one that has a little lip just above the rims that protects the rim. Not sure if it is like my conti though. My previous conti has "outside" marked on the sidewall.

Your tyres are installed correctly.

Best mileage I get is 12.3km/l on stock 185/65R15.

What is your tyre size?

I guess your tyres are 205?

If so, 12+km/l is excellent mileage for such broad tyres.
