yeah thats my point, you can keep the AT section of the tread towards the inside. But, then the outside lugs will be going in the opposite direction on one side of the vehicle. If you look at the picture you can see what I mean. Its like running baja claws in standard rotation on the drivers side and then reverse rotation on the passenger side, see what I mean. Maybe its a negligible affect but it seems kind of weird.

I was on the Goodyear site a few days ago and I thought that in the pictures they were hideous. Now that I see them in real world pics, I actually kind of like them, and they look like the best of both worlds. Unfortunate that I only have about 2,000 miles on my KM2's... Maybe my next set will be these, but so far I love my new meats too much.

If you look at the old MT/R or BFG or TOYO, etc the outside lug on all of those tires does the same thing. On one side it's angled forward, other side it's back. On these tires it just seems more obvious - probably due to the assymetric pattern. I don't think it will affect performance.

they're like half directional, one side will probably be more apt to dig than the other but the effect may be negligible I don't know

Ya I'm not a fan of the side biters. The tread looks fine, side biters are questionable.

Every new set of tires I have purchased has had this same blue protective coating applied to the white lettering. It washes right off with soapy water.
