Ordered 2 federal 165/55r15 online, UPS had them here Monday on time. The best plans go down hill from there. I Had plan ahead ,had the tires off and wheel weights cleaned off of the rims. Now it's time to reorder and try again.

Ok now I get it.

Wouldn't be surprised if you get the other pair that matches this pair! Care to let us know where you are getting them from?

Don't you put the wider one on the side that turns in the direction you use most?

Question has anyone install the Federal Formosa AZo1, are they directional. The first set I received had inside stamped on one side and outside on other.

"These are asymmeytric tyres, with the most stable part of the tread on the outer margins for reasonable cornering response in the dry, but are not directional. This is a big help when time comes to rotating your tyres, as you can swap them into any position (not just front to rear)."

They are not directional BUT they DO have an "outside" to them and are clearly marked.

They are marked "inside" and "outside". It's a test for the kid who mounts them at the tire shop!

One thing I found out to do about tires is look on other websites for the tire you want and then go to Amazon to see if they have

the same tire. then get it from Amazon. they have free Shipping. that will save you money. some site charge as much for shipping

as the tire cost.

Please be sure to look at your new tires, there is a small arrow showing you the inside and outside on the side of the tires. My local tire store installed one of mine correctly, and one side incorrectly! Had trouble with the ride, and notice the inside arrow showing on the outside right tire! Took it to another tire store, and they reverse the tire, and it made a hugh difference in the ride and steering!! Very small arrow, so make sure to get your tires correctly mounted and balanced!! The belts must be designed to run one way!
