Asymmetric tire installation on the left and on the right

The last post talked about three different tire patterns, and asymmetric tire pattern obtained are most often manufactured.

Asymmetric tire has an indicator "OUTSIDE" on the sidewall to tell people that it is mounted with the side facing outwards of the vehicle, and it can be installed on any side of the vehicle...... until a customer asked me regarding the installation of this asymmetric tyre on the left and right, I found out that I still need to learn more...

When this type of tyre is installed on the left and right, the patterns become different. This time, I use Kenda KR400 asymmetric tire to have a look of it.

The left side of the tire, the pattern (looking from outside to inside) goes from left top to the right bottom, and the right side of tire, the pattern (looking from outside to inside) goes from right bottom to the left top. 

Under normal circumstances, the pattern mounting on the left should be the same as on the right or vice versa (as depicted on the picture below, using red line)

The final production of such tire pattern is (probably or looks like) because of the manufacturing cost is lower, and according to the testing result which shows there is no issue with the performance.

In foreign country(ies), there are models with asymmetric tyre pattern indicated to mount on the left and right. 

Anyway, we do not need to care much about the pattern as there is only such asymmetric tire available in Hong Kong market, and as long as we are following the OUTSIDE and INSIDE mounting instruction
