Default rear shot of the Vredesteins

Any one else have a rear shot of the tires on your car? Are the treads going the same way or do they look like mine?

The company claims despite the agressive tread pattern the tires are non-directional. They can go anyway you wish. Most Ive seen are mounted as yours are, with the band on the inside.

With a tread pattern like that there should be a right and left tire . . . wierd . . .

IMHO, the passenger tire is rolling backwards, and "traps" water as if rolls . . .

I'd say unless there are little directional arrows on the sidewalls of the tires, you be fine . . .

I agree!!

This was discussed a couple of weeks ago, and I said it then and I'll say it again...I don't know how that will work! On the Corvette Forum, one of CCW's guys said they've sold quite a few with no complaints, but isn't Florida's rainfall sort of sporadic?
