Default RE11 Tire question....

Simple question for those that own RE11's.....

Is there actually a driver-side and passenger-side tire for the RE11?

I just purchased a set couple days ago and just realized all four tires are same direction tread pattern.(one side aiming towards the back. Other side aiming towards the front of the car). I'm thinking they screwed up on two of the tires and was planning to go back tommorow to get it replaced if it is wrong.


Info:
2002 AP1 wheel size

Those tires are asymetrical, that means the side wall will say inside or outside.

huh? I cant flip them. They are all mounted correctly labeled "outside".

I'm thinking there's a different tread pattern for specific sides, unless RE11's are like this way....

For example....

Driver side:


I have four of those....

and I was wondering if there's such thing as a "Passenger-side" tire where the tread pattern is a mirror image of the picture above.

Reason why I ask is....the last set of tires I had were Goodyear Eagle GT tires. and they were Mirror image of each other. And the RE11's aren't.
