Anyone uses this tyre? My car front 2 tyres and back two tyres has been fixed in opposite ways. If u do not understand what i mean, the outer part of my front tyre now is the inner part of my behind tyre. I need to know which way is correct.

In the pics are my front two tires. Look at the tyre thread. two double line thread is outside, but the single line thread is inside for the front. The behind is the opposite.

the rear? should be the same as front. i think the tyre shop didn't know how to fit michelin tyres
yes, confirm they fix wrongly coz my dad's car is using the same tyre and it is fitted same as my rear. i think the shop owner needs a new spectacles. :regular_smile: thx a lot guys for ur help.

btw, is there michelin tyre for 195/55/16? i know its a bit weird size but bridgestone turanza has it.
