These are asymmetrical tires. There is an inside and an outside. They are only to be mounted outside out and inside in. There are a lot of advantages to asymmetrical tires especially in the versatile conditions that off-road enthusiasts put their tires in. Goodyear realizes that as you drive in different conditions certain areas of the tread carry more of the vehicles load than others. Because of this Goodyear has designed the tread to follow each sections function to give you traction where need it most.
Think of it like this. When you are on a trail, you are rarely driving with the vehicle level from right to left. Your vehicles weight is shifted to the sholders of your tires. When offroad you want large biting lugs so thats where goodyear has put their large biting lugs.
When you are on a highway or street the road is usually pretty flat. This centers the weight of the vehicle more in the tires center. On a highway you want a more solid type of tread with less gaps between the blocks. This is exactly what you will find in the inner center portion of the new MTR.
