| While mounting and balancing V700 Victoracer tires on your wheels should be left to a professional with the proper equipment, there are several factors that you should confirm with your installer before he mounts your tires. The V700 Victoracer tires feature an asymmetric tread design and "SIDE FACING OUTWARDS" and "SIDE FACING INWARDS" messages are branded on their sidewalls. New tires should always be installed accordingly. However, while V700 Victoracer tires continue to be branded with right ("R") or left ("L") side of vehicle markings and rotation arrows which originated with Kuhmo's desire to reduce stress on the tire's tread splices, Kuhmo has since developed tread splices that make following the side of vehicle markings and directional arrows unnecessary. Today, there is only one part number for each size tire and experience has shown that V700 Victoracer tires can be installed on either side of the car, run at any wheel position, and are not required to be run directionally. Because a tire mounting lubricant should be used when installing V700 Victoracers, it is best to mount your tires far ahead of their use in competition to minimize possible tire slippage on the wheel that might affect balance. Slippage can be confirmed by running a chalk line vertically across the wheel flange onto the tire sidewall. If the line doesn't remain lined up after competition use, some slippage has occurred and wheel balance should be rechecked.
