I bought my 03 S2000 4 months ago, and it had Fuzion ZR1's on it. I never really looked at the tires until today, because I had a bad valvestem and it was leaking air. I had it replaced and when I was putting the wheel/tire back on, I noticed the tire was directional. But I am confused as to which direction the tire is supposed to spin. Normally there is an arrow, but on this tire, it looks like below.

So my question is, based on the below image, is the tire supposed to spin to the left, or to the right. I am assuming to the right, as the image looks like it is supposed to be spinning and the lines coming off it are pulling away.

Or is it the lines pulling away are the arrows telling me it's supposed to spin to the left?

I am sooo confused.. lol.. Thanks for the help.

correct me if im wrong

 

It should turn counterclockwise. The two lines to the left of the word "rotation" are the directional arrows.

 

that is the most retarded directional indication on a tire i have ever seen; how confusing.

 

I would tend to agree. I looked at the tread first and then noticed the "arrows". At least the wear inidicator is plain enough.

 

Call Fuzion

 

I'd love to hear that phone conversation.

 

 

It should be on the driver's side of the car. Even though the sidewall is kind of confusing, the tread is pretty obvious in which way it should go.

 

I wasnt confused for a second

and a quick look at the tread pattern should resolve any doubt, its not hard to figure out which way a tire is supposed to turn
