Directional tire question
I am remounting my tires and the fronts are mounted correctly on the vehicle and the grooves are facing towards the front.
To make sure I am putting the rears on the correct side, I am assuming the grooves have to go on in the same direction as the fronts?

Yes. Directional tires should have an arrow on the sidewall indicating the correct rolling direction. If you know the fronts are on correctly then the rears should match the direction.

Someone mentioned the arrow, but they looked like a design character. Anyway it caused me to check it out and low and behold I saw a right and a left imprinted on the side of the tire.
