Directional Tires need direction..

So, I'm at the auto parts store, & parked 2 spots over is this 'macked out' Caddy Escalade. Had 24" Chrome Casinos on with Directional tires...

But as I walked to the door, I noticed his directional tire was on "backwards".... So I took a lil closer look..

Yep all 4 were on backwards.. I then went inside & asked who owned the Escalade, this young dude said it was his..

I asked if he intentionally put the tires on backwards. He looked puzzled, & we went outside, I pointed to the "rotation arrows" & he said, is that bad ?

Aaaahh, Only if you want to ride safely in the rain, etc..

Amazing, musta had at least 5K in just tires & rims....

Bangs head on desk, slaps forehead in amazement, wife wonders if I'm having another "fit", thanks for the laughs courtesy of a another "real life moron".

Sometimes Sleeper, do you wonder if there is hope for the survival of the Human race based on the intelligence of the average person?

About the only thing that could have made it more "perfect", is if it had been parked at Wally-World.
