Nothing back from the OP? Damn, I hate when that happens!

jw1977

Looking at the sidewall closer I can see where it says "Inner" on the one without the red lettering. They must have installed it backwards. Should I take it back? Is the tread really going the wrong way?

Yes, take it back.

If you got the P-Zero Rosso asymetrical tires then your tire tread should look like the pic below. The sidewall that you see is the "outer" side of the tire. In the center of the tire, there is a tread pattern that is rounded on one side that looks like a fish scale (outlined in red). The rounded part should be pointing to the outside of the tire. If it is not, then they mounted the tire backwards on the wheel.

When they remove and reinstall the tire correctly, make sure they balance the wheel again.

If I was you I'd be at the dealership 1st thing in the morning! Yes of course take it back, the work was not properly done.

Any tire shop that mounts tires backward I'd not use again. It's such an easy check that this kind of oversight is inexcusable to me.

Just out of curiousity, have you gotten down and looked at the inside of the tire to see if it's got the red lettering there?

jw1977

Went back and had them mount the tire correctly. Problem over.

Did you give them a swift kick in the ***? Did they offer anything for the screwup to a valued customer?

I'll bet you won't have them mount tires again!

BTW, did you check your rims closely? Hopefully, they didn't ding those as well.
