i have 4 continental contisportcontacts on. i dont know of any opinions on these so if you know that they are good or bad let me know.
but anyway, my question has to do with direction.
on all 4 wheels the direction is facing the same way.
which means, on one side of the car theyre facing forward while on the other side of the car theyre pointing backwards.
is something wrong? i bought these second hand.

I believe that the direction arrows are always supposed to face forward.

And they are good tires. I had them on my OEM 16s.

If there's no arrow saying "Direction of Rotation" stamped on the sidewall, then they're not unidirectional. If there's an "outside" stamped on the tire and they're all the same ("outside" out) you're fine.

No arrow mean bi-directional as stated before. Meaning you can run the tires forward or backward. Know what I'm saying?

Now the outside/inside means assymetrical. This basically means that the outside must run on the outside of the car and the inside must run on the inside. So if they all say outside, then you are ok.

Good thing about those tires is you can rotate them the 4-way so they all get even wear.

ok so even though its facing a differnt way, iits alright as long as the tire outside is mounted right.
thanks!

so i can rotate these like normal radials?
is that what you mean?
