Great pics.


But, why your 4 tires seem to be mounted backward? Are they Michelin Pilot Sport A/S?

rets they are mounted properly, just image the car rolling forward, the tread is laid down pointing like /|\ so it is right

tire rotation (clock wise when moving forward) the tread is correct as shown (I think)

if i imagine correctly, based on the tread, it would channel the water out, the other way would channel water in

If this pic isn't creating an illusion, these tires are backwards and would tunnel water in.

The tires are mounted backwards.. thats how they came when I got them like 3 week ago.. I first noticed it when cleaning them because the rotation mark was backward..
