mounted on the wheel with the correct
sidewall facing outward. The sidewall of the
tire is marked with the word OUTSIDE. When
new tires are installed, make sure that the tires
are correctly mounted on the wheels.
Warning: Road holding is seriously
impaired if the tires are incorrectly
installed on the wheels.
