Someone on here started a thread saying he went to give his new R56 Cooper S a wash after the first 250 miles and discovered the Tyres were not on the correct way. He said the way to tell if the tyre is on correctly is behind the Dunlop D there will be a direction arrow which should point in the direction that the tyre should be rotating. Anyway what i want to know is what happened when he rang his dealer and has anyone else had this problem. I contacted my dealer about it this morning and send him an email with pics of the tyres he told me that directional arrow is just a standard Dunlop thing that is on all Dunlop Tyres.
Is he correct in saying this. ???????

That's not the direction arrow it's just the Dunlop logo.

Some tyres ARE directional but that picture just shows the dunlop logo which has always pointed that way!

Ignore the arrow

Look for text on the wheel that says, OUTSIDE, OR INSIDE

if its outside its right.

look on the tyres R56 thread
