What is the functionality of the direction arrows?
The directional arrows on your tire indicate the correct mounting direction, when there is one. This is important when the tread is designed for a particular feature, such as traction or speed. Some tires will have no directional arrows, indicating that the tread is not directional and you can mount the tire either way. Other tires will have arrows pointing both ways accompanied by a word such as GRIP or SPEED, meaning that depending on which way you mount your tire you will achieve one characteristic or the other.
