Tire mounting question URGENT!!!!
Working on the car today giving it the full spring cleaning treatment.
I normally have Goodyear F1 Supercar tires on the car but I took them off at the beginning of the winter and put on the runflats.
The runflats have arrows on them which tell you the direction of tire rotation. This way you can tell left from right. Well I'm getting ready to put the F1 tires back on and I can't find any indication to tell the left from the right. Does it matter on this tire?
The car is up on the jack as we speak. I guess I'll do some Zaino while I'm waiting for an answer.

It really does not matter as long as the roll the correct way. So if one came off the left side and now it got mounted to the right wheel it does not matter. (Again, so long as it spins the right direction).

noting that the tires have staggered sizes to begin with, it is impossible to mount the tires incorrectly (right/left) as long as the arrows are pointing to the front of the car and, (of course) are on the side facing out.

I'm told from another thread that it doesn't matter. The F1's are not unidirectional.
Thanks
