I am new to the cargame as all of you know. And I examined/test drove the crap out of my 8 before I bought it. It had lots of flaws and I'm holding them to the dealer. One of the things that is kind of funny though, that I didnt realize until a mechanic shop that helps me out a bit with DIY things pointed out to me, two of the tires would put on inside out.

They're brand new ones that the dealership put on with a very large water channel (these evolved from aquatreds), and whether it is that dangerous or not, the mechanic said they could deffinitely channel incorrectly in bad weather, so I should have the dealer switch them.

Whether it makes a big difference or not I'm not sure, but I'll be going in to have the dealer fix em for me. Just thought maybe you guys would get a kick out of it. What a sketchy dealer. They can't even put the tires on correctly.

Some people put on tires incorrectly on purpose for auto cross events.

Are the wheels backwards on the same side (L/R) or on they only on the front or back? If they're on the front or back, it's as simple as swapping the sides wheels so that what was on the left is on the right and vice versa. Somebody may have just mounted them backwards after rotating the tires.

Some tires have rotational written on it on where it could be mounted and on what side of the vehicle.

Well, basically the tires say "this side face in" even though its facing out lol. Im sure its an easy fix, just funny. The dealer said they will work on it tomorrow.
