My Nokian WR G2 Winter Tyres
I have bought four Nokian WR G2 tyres from ANKARA/TURKEY last week.
As you know, these tyres have asymmetrical inside/outside tread pattern. My question comes here; “For these types of tyres do you produce left and right ones explicitely?, so do i need to buy left and right WR G2 tyres?”. I know that directional tyres carry markings on the sidewall which indicate the correct direction of rotation and asymmetrical tyres carry markings to identify the inner- and outward-facing sides. Note that Some tyres are both asymmetrical and directional (Dunlop has). Nokian WR G2 has only inner-outer side markings, on the other hand there are some arrow like lines which i thought that these may be directional indicators. Although i have searched the nokian's web site i could not get the correct wordings that guaranties the wr g2's are not directional.
So i have asked this question to my dealer and they answered “No, these are only outside-inside, not directional tyres.”
As a result they said that it is not important which side you have fitted the tyre (left or right).
Figure 1 Illustartion of my car and the Nokian WR G2 tyres. As can be seen, the patterns differ for left and right side of the car. Is it acceptable?
