How to determine if tire is for left or right side?

[peoe2]

I purchased 19" rims with Pirelli PZero Rosso tires. I can't figure out which wheel is the left or right. There is no arrow on the tire itself or does it matter which direction the tire is rotating?

If the tire is a directional tire then it will have arrows! PZERO's usually are directional and have an arrow to show forward facing. I would consult a tire dealer just incase.....

If there is no arrow on side for direction of rotation, then the tires are not directional.

The ones I have are PZero Rosso Asimmetrico. From what the Pirelli site says Asimmetrico means an asymmetric tread designs. I assume that it means it's not a directional tread and therefore whichever side it's mounted on doesn't matter?
I called the dealer but couldn't get hold of the rep that sold me the tires.

Thanks guys for your help.

I also found this online:

"Asymmetrical tires are designed to improve handling and reduce noise. These tires can rotate in either direction with the correct side facing out as indicated on the sidewall. If installed with the wrong side facing out, the tire will not provide optimum performance. However, no damage or premature wear to the tire will result. Simply have it dismounted and reinstalled correctly."

they have to MOUNT the tire with the correct side facing out. you can install the wheel on either side of the vehicle.
