What are asymmetrical tires?
Tires with an asymmetrical tread also exist. One example is the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta. Inner section Outer section The inner tire section has a “more open” tread than the outer section. The outer tire section with the “less open” tread is intended for high traction on a dry road and road adherence in corners while the inner section has a “more open” tread. That results in an improved dispersion of water. The “most open” tread must always be fitted on the inside as indicated in figure 4. Figure 4 The text “INNER SIDE” on these tires helps to prevent that the tires are fitted incorrectly. This means when the tire has been fitted under the vehicle, the sidewall with the text “INNER SIDE” is not visible.
