it wouldnt because its upside down when you looking from the other side. and upside downing a diagonal line doesnt change it, its when only left to right flip changes from / to \.

Don't over think it. If the words are right, then all is good.

If they are all mounted properly and you can see 'outside' on each tire. What exactly is the problem? Put them on the car and drive it!

You guys do not get it. All the tires are mounted fine. Its the position (in other words which tires goes where that was the problem). If you look at stock bridgestone potenza tread pattern, it is not symmetrical. This is why i was asking whether to put the left side tread pattern parallel to the right side treat pattern ( meaning all the bars would face the same way) OR whether to put them opposite to each other on both sides (meaning on one side the bars would go one way and on the other side the bars would go the opposite way).

Everything is fine now cause i figured out theyre supposed to go parallel to each other.

No, its seems everyone got it from the beginning. If you can read the words "outside" on the tire while they are on the car, then you are fine. Why you are looking at the tread and confusing yourself is beyond me. Glad you 'figured' it out, but you just had to listen to anyone else in the thread
