Directional pattern tyres
Tyres with directional or asymmetric patterns should always be fitted such that they rotate in the correct direction as indicated by an arrow marked on the tyre sidewall. Failure to observe this is classified as a reason for refusal to issue an MOT test certificate.
If a directional tyre has to be fitted so that it rotates in the wrong directional (e.g. temporary use of a spare tyre following a puncture), then without undue delay the vehicle should be taken to a tyre dealer or garage so that a correct tyre can be fitted.
