"I love the looks of these things on the driver's side, but the passenger side just looks wrong. You would think the passenger side would have different gripping characteristics than the driver's side"
what? Its exactly the same for both driver and passenger side unless the tires are installed wrong..........

Ummmm actually he is right. The tread pattern is different on the passenger side then on the drivers side. Hence why the are called asymetrical tires. Maybe you have yours installed wrong. I have them on my Jeep XK and they are installed correctly on all 4 corners. Each tires specifically states "this side out" on the side wall of the tire that needs to be mounted outward.

If you look at this picture posted earlier in this thread you can see the difference between the driver and passenger side. I can tell just by looking at the tires that they are mounted on the wheel properly.

Yup. Just saying it looks wierd tho. The driver's side outer tread blocks are angled to the rear like a standard directional tire like the PC Xterrain and the passenger side tread blocks are angled forward, like you would find if you had a directional tire mounted backwards. Just saying seems odd.
Look great though!
