Default Incorrect tyre fitment on new Focus

Hi all,

Just taken delivery of a new Focus Sport - very impressed so far.

Anyway, just noticed that one of the tyres has the word "inside" on the outside tyre wall. So, I'm assuming these tyres are directional and this one has been fitted the wrong way round.

So, just a warning for all others who have LW Focuses...check your tyres have been fitted correctly!

As I say, check yours too because it's easy to misss...

Picked my Sport up this afternoon - the salesman was a little bemused that I checked out the tyres before driving away

Must check my Continentals for this. I have had a vibration in my Focus and the local Goodyear centre found one of the tyres was out of round, must checked that mine are on the correct way
