** Direction of rotation: Some Taurus truck tyres have a directional tread pattern. We recommend that in such a case the
tyre should be mounted respecting the indicated direction of rotation, optimising it’s potential life. If during it’s service life
it becomes necessary to turn the tyre on the rim, then we suggest that all tyres on the same axle are turned similarly.
