I just had the Dealer perform the ritual of Summer to Winter tire change over done this past week(Saturday pickup). Winters area are the BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK LM-22 RFT(205/55HR16) set with rims. These are directional tread tires and have the ROTATION ARROW indicators to aid in the install of the Tires. Well, I have to go back on Monday morning..Yup, the rear tires just happen to have been installed with the Arrow's rotating to the rear and so I'll be at the dealer first thing tomorrow!
For correct performance, wear and SAFETY issues the rotation Arrow's must be pointing in the direction most frequentley travelled..In my case anyway it is Forward..
Watch for this fellow Winter Tire uses in Canada and those areas where you need them.
Cheers

Sir, I'd have to say that the technician who performed the work at your dealer is an idiot

Let's hope they can figure out it's not necessary to rip off the tires and re-mount them to correct this.
