I am about to replace my winter tires/rims with my OEM 19s on my 05 coupe. I am looking at the bridgestone potenza tires and and cannot find the marking to detrmine which side the tire is on. I thought there was an arrow that would indicate the rotation. Any advice?

 

Haha, what do ya know, I just finished putting my OEM 19s back on. Must be this weather. I did not see an arrow either, but I was smart enough to take pictures of the tires before I took them off. Here is the way they should be:
Front: Driver side: check marks on the outside facing upside down (if looking from front POV)
Rear: Passange side: Check marks on outside upside down
Here is a directory of the pics I took: http://66.31.213.76/Tire%20Placement/
Hope that helps

 

Is your first picture the tire on the front driver side????

 

Actually it is the rear right tire looking from the back of the car.

 

The RE050As are not directional, thus they do not have rotational arrows. The tires are asymmetric; the sidewalls are marked with the words INSIDE and OUTSIDE.

 

Are you sure they arent directional? I remember reading on the forum that they are, thats why people with uneven wear couldnt switch sides, they would have to unmount the tire and remount back on the other wheel?

 

Makes sense..if they were directional they would clearly indicate an arrow otherwise it would cause a lot of confusion. I was comparing tread patterns and noticed that no matter what side i put the wheel on, the patter would be the same.
