  im not sure what there doing being the wrong way, but if there directional, it must be for a reason?
quick google

Correct fitting is important

Standard car tyres have a symmetrical tread pattern which is the same across the whole width of the tyre. The tread pattern on an asymmetric car tyre changes across the tread as different parts of that tread are adapted for particular functions.

The outside edge consists of large stiffer tread blocks which help with cornering. The inner tread blocks are smaller and designed to shift water and improve wet grip. In addition, the middle of the tread usually has a continuous rib to help straight line stability.

Asymmetrics must be fitted the right way round on the wheel to benefit from the tread block arrangement – the sidewalls are always marked.

Directional car tyres usually have a chevron or arrow pattern in the tread and are designed to work in a specific direction of rotation. Key benefits are:

•better dispersal of water which builds up in front of the tyre
•reduced road noise
•improved directional stability.
Directional tyres need to rotate in the correct direction – clearly marked on the sidewall of the tyre.

If fitted the wrong way round, the tyre won't be dangerous, but you won't gain any of the benefits of a directional tyre.

Incorrect fitting of both asymmetric and directional tyres is a reason for MOT failure too

Some very high performance cars have directional and asymmetric tyres – these have to be fitted the right way round on the wheel and on the correct side of the vehicle.

Buy tyres at wholesale prices...

Cheers Toby, just done a bit of googling and found that they have an arrow on them saying rotation, so just checked and they are back to front lol oops

The reason being is that they had 2 new tyres put on but I alread had wheels on so when I did it never even noticed. Luckily it wasn't a garage that did it 

Cheers bud

Good job its a easy fix 

[jnufcuk]

tyres are done cheers toby

side skirts have turned up 

so thats oem anni rear valance and oem anni side skirts

Just deciding on what front valance to go for :/

either:

standard

anni

4 motion

 

[daz veedub]

anni rear + anni skirts = anni front valence 

[jnufcuk]

anni rear + anni skirts = anni front valence 

Anni skirts and anni rear = easy to get hold off

Anni front = near impossible for a decent price lol

if u dont go full anni kit, it,ll be like wearing a top of the range suit with a pair of hi-tec trainers
