Michelin pilot sports are directional. Check the direction of arrows on the sidewalls

Default That's what I thought but couldn't find direction arrows....

Of course it was late, I was tired, and the lighting wasn't the best so I will check again.

When you mount them, make sure the V's in the tread are pointing in the direction of rotation.
