Default Dunlop sp 5000 mounting question

According to the Dunlop literature, these tires have inter-connected outer shoulder blocks and open inner shoulder blocks. Are there any "this side out" markings on the outside sidewalls, or do I just hope all four tires get mounted the correct way?

Thanks!

Default Yup, as you said....

There are "this side out" markings on the outside walls. Might want to let the mounting shop know about this. I didn't notice the markings until they were mounted, but they did 'em right anywat.

As with all asymetrical tires, the tires are branded (albeit small print) as "side facing inwards" and/or "side facing outwards", so your installer should be familiar with it!

Hope this helps!
