A tire (100) comprises a first side (120a) and a second side (120b) defining a counterclockwise first rotation direction (D1) and a clockwise second rotation direction (D2), respectively, and a circumferential tread (130) disposed about the tire (100) and including a plurality of tread elements (800; 900; 1000; 1200) with each of the plurality of tread elements (800; 900; 1000; 1200) having a plurality of sipes (830; 930; 1030; 1240) disposed therein. The plurality of sipes (830; 930; 1030; 1240) causes the tire (100) to exhibit a first tire performance when the tire is rotated in the first rotation direction (D1) and a different second tire performance when the tire (100) is rotated in the second rotation direction (D2). First indicia (150a) and second indicia (150b) are disposed on the first side (120a) and the second side (120b), respectively, and include an indicator designating the first rotation direction (D1) as a front tire rotation direction and the second rotation direction (D2) as a rear tire rotation direction.
