Nitto Neo Gen question

Way2Short · 06-29-2007, 01:27 AM

I just bought a set of tires and they are Nitto Neo Gen 215/40/17. I was looking at the tire thread and was wondering if there is a correct way to mount the tires? What I mean is it supposed to be directional tires?

There must be "rollin" in the correct way to maximize their performance right?

^^ Bro, just call me, i just got the same ones for my works lol.

The tire will be labeled' either *INSIDE* or *OUTSIDE* on the sidewall. That tells you which side the tire needs to be mounted on the wheel itself.

I can see that work for the driver side of the car but what about the passenger side? If you mean outside as in "not towards" the car then how would the passenger side go? The "inside" wouldn't be inside on the passenger side? It would then be the "outside" on the passenger side.

No. Put all OUTSIDE to OUTSIDE of car. On Neogens, that is how the direction works, due to the nature of it being an infamous "No-camber" tire.

yeah, what berlina said...make sure outside is visable from outside of the car...it might not seem right, but that's how they are
