  • Tyre rotation indicator

    Hello Veedubbers

    Does anyone know which way it should be pointing? Should the tip of the arrow be pointing towards the back or the front? From my point of view I thought it should have been pointing towards the front but all of them are pointing towards the back. After all we mainly drive forwards the majority of the cars life time.

    Your instincts are correct, they should be fitted so that they roll in the direction of the arrow on the sidewall as the vehicle moves forward.

      i believe its not if they point to the front or back of the car, they should be pointing the way the wheel rolls.
      so say if you are standing looking at the passenger side of the car, the arrow should turn anticlockwise around the wheel. drivers side, clockwise

        The arrows on mine point forward but sometimes when it's parked they point down, sometimes up. I even saw it pointing backwards once.

        Do I need to get my tyres rotated?
        The arrows indicate direction of rotation!
