Still confused over PZero Nero (more)
Is the P Zero Nero directional? I was looking for a rotation arrow - but can't see one.
They are marked with an inside and outside - So thought it must be directional, but when I look at the tread pattern it runs in the opposite direction on each side of the car???
Are they left and right handed rather than directional or are they asymmetric. If asymmetric, I thought the same part of the pattern would be on the same side of the tire when on the car (mirror image).
Can't trust the tire monkeys beyond actually mounting them - and they have never seen a Nero before.
Am I suffering from brain fade???

Like it's been said, Nero's are asymmetrical, not directional...
You need to look at the sidewall markings for "outer" and "inner", and mount them accordingly. That's it.
The tread pattern runs in opposite directions on each side of the car because they're what.............asymmetrical. If there are no other sidewall markings to indicate "rotation", then just mount then according to "inside" "outside".

Re: Like it's been said,
Ok, got it. Just thought it looked odd to have the tread direction on each tire different when mounted on each side of the car. The Primacy's that are there now are asymmetrical with the tread being a mirror of each side.
